SIR CALLIE AND THE WITCH'S WAR

Torn apart by war, Callie, Willow, Elowen, and Edwyn confront new enemies, grapple with difficult decisions, and rally the courage to fight for a better future.

Callie and Willow, exiled to Eyrewood after escaping Helston, wait and train for their next battle. Guilt and worry eat away at Callie’s patience as the adults hesitate to plan their next move. Any day now, the forces of Helston or Alis, the Witch Queen of Dumoor, could attack. Meanwhile, Elowen swears an oath to Alis, who promises to make Elowen her heir. By remaining at the Witch Queen’s side, Elowen plans to protect everyone she loves, but as Alis makes demands of her trust and dismisses her concerns, Elowen starts to question whether she’s made the right decision. Edwyn never wanted to return to Helston or to see his father again, but now he rides beside him on a secret mission to prove his loyalty and atone for betraying Alis. More than anything, Edwyn wants to prove his bravery to himself. This third installment continues to expand the world around Callie and their friends, increasing the stakes and scope of the imminent war. Identity and autonomy remain core themes of the story. Symes-Smith builds momentum and suspense right up to the cliffhanger ending by alternating among the perspectives of the four main characters. Callie, Willow, Elowen, and Edwyn are cued white; the world around them reflects racial diversity.

A page-turning continuation of an adventuresome series.
