I love to discover a new series to read, especially by an author that I already enjoy reading! Angharad Thompson Rees is the author of the Magical Adventures and Pony Tales. These six books are for middle grade readers and have been reviewed on Equus Education. She now also has a new series aimed at young adults. It is the Magic and Mage series. The first in this series is titled Witch Hearts.
Witch Hearts introduces the reader to three young adult sisters who are fearful their mother is about to draw her last breath. Eager to help, they follow their black cat out into the darkening evening in search of a herb. The three have differing features and yet are triplets. Whilst out looking for some Witch Hazel the girls suddenly find themselves victims of a witch hunt.
None of them know what to do when they are caught by two evil men. They are then caged to be taken to a nearby witch trial. What they do know is that when they arrive, they will innocently be burned at the stake.
Throughout the journey Morganne, Amara and also Fae struggle with what is going to happen to them. As they are taken in the cage drawn by three horses as different as them, Amara finds herself battling with an untold secret. She knows her sisters are innocent of the accusation against them. She also knows that there is truth in it for her.
Witch Hearts is a wonderfully descriptive story that draws you into the magical world these young women live in. The horse information rings true and the fantasy element is worded beautifully. This first book is a great start to the series that I am sure will attract many fantasy fans. Of course, the horse element is an added bonus.
