Witch Heart by Anya Bast
Claire grew up on the daaeman (or as the humans know it, “demon”) realm of Eudae. As the handmaiden to the Cae of the Ytrayi, Claire was well kept and safe from all the other daaeman. But that did not stop Rue from tweaking and experimenting with Claire’s magick. Nor did that stop him from placing a powerful daaeman weapon inside of her before blasting her to the aeamon (or human) realm of earth to protect her -not to mention the weapon, too- from the Atrika invasion.
Still, for her first time back on earth, it was not the welcome she originally thought it would be. Why would people think she was insane and place her in a hospital because she was looking for elemental witches and trying to avoid the Atrika chasing after her?
When the air witches heard Claire’s mental cry of help, Adam, with his strong fire magick, was called to rescue her. Saving her from the mental ward was no difficulty, but keeping her safe from the blasted Atrika who want the elium stored in her body was. The Atrika are ruthless and would have no qualms killing Claire and a hundred others to get that weapon - a weapon so strong, it would give them the power to take over Eudae and the Ytrayi. Now Adam has to find a way to keep the demons at bay until the coven can figure out how to get the elium out of Claire.
At least Claire has an ace up her sleeve. While Rue was tweaking her earth magick, he somehow transformed it, giving her the abilities to call on all the different elemental magicks, making it more like daaeman magick. Now if she could somehow find a way to weave the magick of fire, earth, water and air together, as Rue had originally intended, then maybe she might be able to keep the Atrika off their backs before anyone else gets hurt. If Rue put the elium in her, there must be a way for them to get it out. The real question is “how” and time is running out.
Witch Heart is a story that will captivate its readers. It will hook you from the first few pages and then take you on a wild ride. It is a fast-paced story but it is also a story that will make you feel emotion. Anya Bast uses words like Monet used paint. It‘s vibrant. It’s alive. Readers will be able to see the story come to life as it just leaps out of the pages.
