Waterspell The Complete Series Boxed Set Books 1 4

WATERSPELL: The Complete Series Making a place for yourself in a world where you don’t belong takes courage. So does moving in with a warlock. Especially one who is a cauldron of seething anger on his worst days … half mad on his best … who is thinking, perhaps, of killing you. And you can almost understand why he would do it. But you’ll fight to stay alive. Because maybe … just maybe … you’ve found the place where you belong: On his world, in his magic, saving the warlock from himself. WATERSPELL: The Complete Series (all four books) tells the story of the lost traveler, Carin, who is drawn into the schemes of a hot-tempered, emotionally damaged wizard. Does he view her as nothing more than an expendable weapon in his fight to save his world from lethal alien plagues? Or will Lord Verek find himself wavering, when it comes time to dispose of his fiery water-sylph? Praise for the Books of Waterspell: “An impressively immersive quality in Deborah J. Lightfoot’s writing draws you in and keeps you there as the pages turn … engaging the enduring interest and sympathy of the reader as they follow the twists and turns of the plot. Lightfoot creates a detailed and convincing world in which to set her story.” —Martin Dukes “First off there’s the writing itself, the quality of the prose, the effortless way that Lightfoot sets the stage and calls the shots, with none of the ponderous, overblown verbiage that weighs down so much high fantasy. Then there are the characters, each determined to leap off the page. But what most sets this book apart is its wild premise, an inspired bit of imagination.” —Brian T. Marshall “An extremely well written fantasy story … flows well with a very readable style that holds your interest throughout. The world building is solid and intriguing, the magical aspects well drawn and versatile and characterisation is energetic so that you are immediately invested in their future. All in all a marvellous addition to the fantasy genre and I would recommend it for lovers of magical mystical tales.” —Liz Wilkins “Waterspell blew my expectations out of the ballpark. What a brilliant and unforgettable story! I devoured it … literally consumed by the originality and depth Deborah brings to her characters. She provides a strong balance between action, adventure, fantasy, and romance and Carin’s combination of pride and vulnerability make her a fabulous character! Quite frankly, I am just astounded by the emotions this book stirred in me. It is simply extraordinary.” —Lady Vigilante “If you like epic fantasy that sweeps you to amazing, immersive worlds and while following intriguing characters, be sure to add this series to your to-read list.” —Once Upon a YA Book “The story just keeps getting bigger and bigger.” —Book Briefs Book 1: The Warlock Book 2: The Wysard Book 3: The Wisewoman Book 4: The Witch

In the House of Verek, it’s five years later. The waters are troubled. Memories are darkening. If the story is to end “happily ever after” for Carin and Verek, old demons must be laid to rest. Readers of the Waterspell fantasy series will welcome this long-awaited fourth book for the answers it provides to questions raised in volumes 1 through 3: Does the wysard Verek regain his powers, and will Carin make her way back to him? Have Carin’s parents survived the plague that devastated their world, and will she ever see them again? Did Lanse survive the attack by Carin’s defender? Is Lord Legary really dead? And not least: Did the necromancer die in the jaws of Carin’s conjured dragon? Remember: there was no blood in the water. These questions and more are answered in Waterspell Book 4: The Witch, which picks up the story of the lovers, Carin and Verek, half a decade after readers saw the pair separated in the closing chapters of the original trilogy. By the blood of Abraxas, it’s about time we learned what happened next. The Waterspell series begins with Books 1-3: The Warlock; The Wysard; and The Wisewoman.

Liz Wilkins "This book made me FEEL - and strongly! I also loved that this story was so completely unpredictable. It's one that I'd find hard to forget ... it is one of those rare stories that will stick with me." Ali's Books "If you like epic fantasy that sweeps you to amazing, immersive worlds and while following intriguing characters, be sure to add this series to your to-read list." Once Upon a YA Book "It's nearly impossible to put down. From the first page, it pulls you into a rich, well-drawn and intriguing world populated by equally intriguing characters. It's also impossible to read just this one. You might as well get all three in the series and, like me, you will then be hoping for a book 4." Amazon Verified Review "I was hooked instantly when I started reading The Warlock. I willingly gave up sleep and honestly could not wait to get up to read more of this book. I'm reading the whole series, and I absolutely am loving it." Sarah @ Amazon "Intriguing premise and original characters [whose] well-crafted relationship balances in a tense power struggle … Fine fantasy." Kirkus

He’s a strong man in pain. She’ll cross a universe to find where she belongs. Together, they’ll save a world … and each other. After blundering into the last stronghold of magic, Carin discovers that she is right to fear the wizard Verek. He is using her to seal the ruptures in the void, and she may be nothing more to him than an expendable weapon. What will he do with her—or to her—when his world is again secure? Or has he erred in believing that the last bridge has been broken? The quest may not, in fact, be over … and Lord Verek may find himself not quite as willing to dispose of his fiery water-sylph, Carin, as he once believed himself to be. This is Book 2 of a series. The story begins with Waterspell Book 1: The Warlock and continues in Book 3: The Wisewoman and Book 4: The Witch. Editorial Reviews: "If you like epic fantasy that sweeps you to amazing, immersive worlds and while following intriguing characters, be sure to add this series to your to-read list. —Once Upon a YA Book "This book is even better than the first, and a great example of why I love a great series. I love getting to know the characters and following their journey from book to book. If you love epic fantasy you will LOVE this series.

How far would you go to find where you belong? Would you cross a continent? An ocean? A universe? Plague and pestilence have come to Ladrehdin. With their worst fears realized, Carin and Verek set out to put right everything that has gone so badly wrong. On the final leg of their quest, they retrace Carin’s journey north from the plains—accompanied this time by the village wisewoman, Megella. Along the way, Meg dredges up—from an increasingly unreliable memory—the oldest of the “old stories,” revealing how the actions of the Ancients continue to menace every life on the Wizards’ World, and beyond. This is Book 3 of a series. Waterspell begins with Books 1–2: The Warlock and The Wysard, and concludes with Book 4: The Witch.

The imagery was so vivid that I felt like I could see this mystical world forming around me." —Laura Hartley, What’s Hot?

The author cleverly creates tension without resorting to the battles, complex political intrigue and predictable structure favoured by many in the traditional fantasy genre. I give it 5 stars without hesitation." —Tahlia Newland "This book keeps you enthralled until the final sentence. Such a wonderful ending. Carin and Verek are such rounded and full characters. Hope to see them again soon." —Kim Durbin
