Susan Dennard's New York Times bestselling, young adult epic fantasy Witchlands series continues with the story of the Bloodwitch Aeduan. Aeduan has teamed up with the Threadwitch Iseult and the magical girl Owl to stop a bloodthirsty horde of raiders preparing to destroy a monastery that holds more than just faith. But to do so, he must confront his own father, and his past. "Worldbuilding after my own heart. It's so good it's intimidating."―Victoria Aveyard, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Red Queen The Witchlands #1 Truthwitch #2 Windwitch #3 Bloodwitch Sightwitch (illustrated novella, #2.5) Gr 9 Up-Unrest brews across the Witchlands in this third installment of Dennard's popular fantasy series. As a Bloodwitch and a Carawen monk, Aeduan excells at earning coin for his father, the Raider King. That used to be enough for him, but after growing closer to the enigmatic Threadwitch Iseult, Aeduan must choose: continue as a tool for his father or commit to a different life with different loyalties. Aeduan and Iseult are desperate to reunite Owl, a young and powerful Earthwitch, with her family. Across the Witchlands, Safi begins to understand the consequences of her Truthwitchery and her bargain to help Vaness, the Marstoki empress, clear her royal court of corruption. Meanwhile in Nubrevna, Vivia struggles to be the queen her country needs rather than the ineffectual ruler her ailing father and royal council expect. Cinematic prose and high action propel this story and its characters forward, pushing them to their limits and sometimes beyond, as the Witchlands move closer to a war in which each character will have their own role to play. This book expands the cast and confirms theories about the Cahr Awen, the Paladins, and especially Aeduan's own role in the conflict to come.
