It was supposed to be a quiet life. Mundane. Dareum Covendran and his sister Judane would soon find spouses for themselves, take titles, and enjoy a quiet life. But this is not what happened. When orcs raid their town for the first time in generations, they will have to choose between fighting a battle they cannot win, trusting strange travelers they do not know, waiting for help that may not come, or embracing heresy, whatever consequences may come.
Reviews:
· I love the world and character building in this book. The good, bad, and ugly parts of life are depicted in the story and that is much appreciated. Not every hard moment in life can be glossed over. I cannot wait for the next book.
· This story is the first part of an epic war adventure following multiple perspectives and offering large world-building throughout. It reminds me of Lord of the Rings in terms of scale (of the war, races, and world) and in the sense that this is a heavily plot-driven novel… For anyone who loves a huge world with diverse characters and lots of strategy and politics of war, this series is for you.
· Witches of Serna is an engaging, atmospheric fantasy that pulls you into its world from the first few chapters. The author blends magic, mystery, and character-driven storytelling in a way that feels both familiar to the genre and refreshingly unique. The setting of Serna is rich without being overwhelming, and the magical elements unfold at a pace that keeps you curious without ever feeling lost. The characters are the heart of the story. Each feels distinct, with motivations and flaws that make their arcs believable. Even the supporting cast adds texture to the world, giving the sense that Serna is a living place with history, tension, and its own quiet politics. The interpersonal dynamics—loyalty, conflict, secrecy—are where the book really shines… The story builds momentum toward a satisfying conclusion that leaves room for more without feeling unfinished. The writing itself is accessible but vivid, and the author’s talent for creating mood—sometimes eerie, sometimes warm—adds a layer of depth that lingers after the final chapter.
