The New York Times bestselling series! A USA TODAY bestseller! Nothing can stop the demon tide… Newly exposed as the Black Witch of Prophecy, Elloren Gardner Grey is on the run, not knowing if she’ll find friends or foes. With her fastmate, Lukas Grey, either dead or in the hands of High Mage Marcus Vogel, Elloren knows the only chance of turning the tide of the coming war is to seek allies who will listen long enough not to kill her on sight. In the Eastern Realm, Water Fae Tierney Calix and Elloren’s brother Trystan have joined the Wyvernguard to prepare for Vogel’s attack. But Trystan is fighting on two fronts, as the most despised and least trusted member of the guard. And Tierney’s bond with Erthia’s most powerful river has exposed a danger even more terrifying than the looming war. The Black Witch is back, and the Prophecy is at hand. It’s time to fight. But Vogel has one more earth-shattering revelation for them all.

Am I emotionally stable enough to write this right now? Probably not, but I just have to get my thoughts out. This is the fourth installment in The Black Witch Chronicles, and it did not disappoint at all. I didn't give it 5 stars, however, because for me the pacing was a bit slow the first 70% of the book. That last 30% though- oof, I couldn't stop turning the pages. I really enjoyed the fact that this book was multi-POV (literally everyone's POV)but I do feel like maybe some of it could've been condensed or maybe written as a novella. This book follows the events of The Shadow Wand, and it further explores the heartbreaking reality of prejudices among different communities and their impact on the world. It opens different groups' eyes to the fact that they will need to look beyond their issues in order to fight the bigger evil. The characters explore the hardship of being a young adult in times of conflict while also navigating simply being a young adult and all that comes with that. There so much growth for so many of the amazing cast of side characters that Laurie Forest has created. There are moments of romance, longing, and tension. The anxiety and urgency I felt in the last 25% of this book... I am not okay, but I am definitely hungry for the fifth book. If you've read this book, feel free to message me all of your thoughts! There are some things that may be triggering for readers, so I would check for trigger warnings. This is a YA Fantasy series 16+ for themes.
love stories come to fruition in this book which i absolutely love but i thought more information on the actual battle at hand was going to be in the book so im sad to wait for the actual ending
