Hope & Fire - Paperback

by L. J. Black (Author)

The Anchor Trilogy begins with a murder . . .

The old writer witch was dead. Nadia Oswald watched him die. She held his hand until the light left his eyes. She was a human, but in that moment as he passed from life to death, she inherited his power. A power she hides from her family who hates magic and all who possess it.

Aidan Montgomery was born a witch. He was born with the rarest form of witchcraft, a fact he keeps hidden to protect himself. As an anchor witch he couldn't feel more disconnected from his abilities if he tried. His power feels opposite to who he is. How can he anchor the world if he can't even anchor himself?

Unrest in the south ends their world's centuries of peace. In the north, a group of scientists builds a spaceship, the first their world has seen, keen on visiting the neighboring planet and the species there. So much threatens to tear things apart or change them for good. But fate has a funny way of making people come together. And destiny has a way of changing everything. . . .
