The Mist-Torn Witches

By Barb Hendee

Book Overview

In a small village in the nation of Droevinka, orphaned sisters Celine and Amelie Fawe scrape out a living selling herbal medicines in their apothecary shop. Celine earns additional money by posing as a seer and pretending to read people's futures. But they exist in a land of great noble houses, all vying for power, and when the sisters refuse the orders of a warlord prince, they must flee and are forced to depend on the warlord prince's brother, Anton, for a temporary haven. A series of bizarre deaths of pretty young girls is plaguing the village surrounding Prince Anton's castle. He offers Celine and Amelie permanent protection if they can use their "skills" to find the killer. With little choice, the sisters enter a world unknown to them-of fine gowns and banquets and advances from powerful men. Their survival depends on catching a murderer who appears to walk through walls and vanish without a trace-and the danger grows with each passing night.
