A lost soul. A darkly alluring witch. A terrifying secret.

Once a generation, the Witch claims a companion from the town of Blumwald, never to be seen again. Now that time is drawing near once more...
Mina, daughter of the duke, has lost all hope of any future in Blumwald. So when the Witch appears, Mina offers herself up - though she has no idea what fate awaits her. Stranded with her darkly alluring captor, the mystery of what happened to the previous companions draws Mina into the heart of a terrifying secret...

A bewitching tale of estrangement, loneliness and the power of love.
I was immediately drawn into this story and captivated until the end.
I really felt for Mina and the loneliness she experienced. I also felt for the 'Witch' and the walls she had built around her heart to protect herself. I enjoyed reading the journey of them, both quite stubborn characters determined to have things "their way" but somehow still finding their way to one another.
