Waterspell Book 2 - Deborah J. Lightfoot

. .

Résumé :
He's a strong man in pain. She'll cross a universe to find where she belongs. Together, they'll save a world ... and each other. After blundering into the last stronghold of magic, Carin discovers that she is right to fear the wizard Verek. He is using her to seal the ruptures in the void, and she may be nothing more to him than an expendable weapon. What will he do with her -- or to her -- when his world is again secure? Or has he erred in believing that the last bridge has been broken? The quest may not, in fact, be over ... and Lord Verek may find himself not quite as willing to dispose of his fiery water-sylph as he once believed himself to be. Book 2 of a series. The story begins with Waterspell Book 1: The Warlock and continues in Books 3-4: The Wisewoman and The Witch. In this second book fascinating new characters are introduced and the central characters' relationships continue to be explored. They, in turn, explore the wider environment of the world which Lightfoot creates for this series. The world is a detailed and convincing one, conjured up for us most vividly by Lightfoot's elegant prose, serving to place narrative in a brilliantly realised context and keeping the reader avidly turning the pages for more. The Wysard is an excellent sequel to The Warlock. Lightfoot's powers of imagination are very impressive, as is the quality of her writing. - Martin Dukes, author of the Chronicles of Toxandria...
