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.

About the Author

Castles in the cornfield provided the setting for Deborah J. Lightfoot's earliest flights of fancy. On her father's farm in Texas, she grew up reading tales of adventure and reenacting them behind ramparts of sun-drenched grain. She left the farm to earn a degree in journalism and write award-winning books of history and biography. High on her bucket list was the desire to try her hand at the genre she most admired. The result is WATERSPELL, a multi-layered fantasy series about a girl and the wizard who suspects her of being so dangerous to his world, he believes he'll have to kill her ... which troubles him, since he's fallen in love with her.

Editorial Reviews

"Imaginative, exciting, plenty of action, and an ending that will leave you satisfied." --A Life Through Books

"This series is so vivid in my mind thanks to wonderful descriptions and attention to detail." --Texas Book Nook

"... a fabulous trilogy that should be read by every fantasy reader who would like something a little different. 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
