The prophecies read:

One from the land of kings long forgotten;

One from the hearth which still holds the spark;

One from the Day World where two eyes are watching;

One from the twilight to be one with the dark.

With Circle Daybreak, a group of Night Worlders who have broken the only law there is, falling in love with a human, try desperately to find these Wild Powers before the Redferns do, and everyone is trying to get a piece of mind by bargaining with these people. Life as a Night Worlder is in chaos. It doesn’t matter if you’re a vampire, werewolf, or witch.

Journey with Jez and Morgead. Jez seems to have been a result of a vampire-human hybrid.  She watched her mother die by vampires and with her father mortally wounded, he was able to take Jez to her Uncle Bracken’s house to be raised. She had to leave. Her Uncle had the idea of her going to her mother’s family as an orphan. It wasn’t working and she didn’t fit in at all. Once leaving Morgead and the gang, Jez has been refraining from blood and trying to make amends for what she had done before. With no one knowing who or what she is except her best friend, an old soul named Hugh. Hugh has been discussing the prophecy with Jez and they have found out that one of the wild powers was found by Morgead. If anyone else got a hold of these wild powers and destroyed them then the vampires would rule the earth. They are already growing in power. The soulmate principle is back. After learning all this, Jez knew that she had to find this kid. While going back to Morgead and the gang was a death sentence, she still had to try. If he found out that she was half human, he would want to kill her and without her drinking blood, her powers are slim to none.

Will Morgead find out about Jez? What is going to happen once the wild power is found? Can Jez keep the wild power from being destroyed? Read on to adventure with Night World characters and take a ride in their shoes for awhile. I promise you won’t regret it.

Black Dawn

Maggie woke up in her room by her mother screaming downstairs. It had to be a mistake about her brother being dead. She refused to believe it. His girlfriend, Sylvia said that they were climbing and he made a mistake. Maggie ran upstairs and grabbed her shoes, not bothering to change her mismatched socks or change out of her flowered pajama top, and followed Sylvia to get some answers about Miles, her brother. If Maggie was anything it was stubborn. She refused to believe that he was dead and she wouldn’t see him anymore. What Maggie found in Sylvia’s apartment wasn’t what she expected. After finally getting her chance to ask some questions about Miles, she realized that Sylvia was a witch and had drugged her. Maggie woke up in a horse drawn cart with 3 other girls. One of the girls was already a slave, who had escaped once already. They were on their way to a castle called Black Dawn to be enslaved to Night Worlders who were part of the darker realm. It seems that these rogues were keeping a wild power to themselves. A vampire wild power at that. Maggie saw what power the Prince had first hand when he saved her from one of the shapeshifters. When she touched him, in order to thank him, everything went hazy.

Maggie couldn’t let all the abuse to these slaves continue. When Aradia gets better, she tells them why she was there. She is the Maiden of the Witches and wanted to recruit him to help save the witches and the humans instead of siding with the vampires and attempting to destroy the world. They were running out of time. What will the Prince decide? You have to read to find out.

Witchlight

Keller is a shapeshifter. She works for Circle Daybreak. She feels that she owes them since they took her in as an infant. Her mother left her in a box when she was in half leopard half human form. Those from Circle Daybreak took her in and saved her from humans. Her job was to find the lost witch who had the wild power. She was paired up with Nessa, a vampire, and Winnie, a witch, and Galen, the son of the Head Shapeshifters. Keller and her gang have some trouble at the mall while trying to confront the wild power. They weren’t the only ones trying to recruit her. They even had a dragon. Of course Keller didn’t know he was a dragon until after the fact but at least she was going out and taking him with her. That was when Galen stepped up and kept her from killing him. When Galen found out what he was, he wasn’t sorry. He was only looking out for Keller.

When she is safely in their safe house, Keller lets loose why she is there. Of course, the girl thinks that they are all crazy and told them that there was no way she was the lost witch or wild power. Even after talking the the Witch Crone, she wasn’t convinced. The witches had an agreement with the shapeshifters to marry into each other by Galen marrying Illian, the wild power. That is going to cause problems since Galen is the soulmate of Keller. What is going to happen with Illian? Is she the lost witch child? Is she the wild power everyone has been looking for? What will Keller do about Galen?

You have got to read this book. Everyone comes together to get the wild powers and with the soulmate principle in effect, things are really getting crazy. Everyone is after the powers of the prophecy. This story and all its characters are great to read about. I love this story and can’t wait for the next one. I give the author two thumbs up for sure.
