Thornbane the Demon Witch

Thornbane Trilogy Hexed Heroes Saga, Book 2

By: Paul Sating

Narrated by: Julia Eve

Death didn't kill the curse.

When Thornbane killed the witch usurper, she dared to believe she'd ended the malevolent curse that shattered her crown. Little did she see the treachery of the people she aimed to protect--cries of “No demon shall rule!” echoed as her liberation turned to ashes.

Betrayal cuts deepest from the inside.

Banished by her own, she must seek answers no one seems able or willing to give. With stalwart companions by her side, she embarks on quests to the ends of the world.

Yet, a new darkness surges forth. The coven has raised an unnatural army. Thornbane grapples with her burgeoning power as hostile armies march. Barons fall. The coven’s sinister plot expands to the most vulnerable. Dethroning barons doesn't seem to be their aim. Abductions abound, weaving a sinister tapestry. A chilling mystery is revealed as young women and girls are taken from their homes.

Revenge becomes an addiction.

While Thornbane searches for allies, a dual duty emerges. The land convulses with horrors. The helpless yearn for heroes. But giving herself to save those who rejected her might cost her salvation.

A duty to protect thrusts Thornbane into a crucible. Can she unlock her magic’s potential in time to rescue countless innocent lives? Will she unravel her own secrets before the witches extinguish her flame of resistance?

Beset By So Many Enemies

I was as entertained by book two as I was by the first book in the series. I was overjoyed by Thornbane's victory and saddened by her reception by the people that she had tried to liberate. I was enthralled by all the challenges which Thornbane and her friends had to face in this newest story. I felt grief over some of the events that occurred. I'm looking forward to the last book in the trilogy. I thought Julia Eve's narration was great, and her performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which included my honest opinions regarding this story.
