Wilde Island is in pandemonium over the recent death of its king. With the pact between dragons, fairies, and humans unraveling, and the leadership of an unworthy uncle while the heir is away, has left the kingdom in pieces. To make matters worse, a witch hunter is on the loose in search of young girls with “fire in their hearts and sparks in their soul.” Meanwhile Tess, a blacksmith’s daughter from a tiny hamlet near the magical and mysterious Dragonswood, wants more for herself then a good man and a house to keep. But in times like these, wanting can be hazardous. I thought this was a great book and I would recommend it to people who enjoy fantasy, magic, and fiction. I would have liked to have read more about the witch trials, may be a short paragraph on what the witch trials were about in the back of the book. Ages 11-14
