A Cauldron of Bitterness

Magic is a double-edged sword. Siobhan knows this all too well.Old scars have peeled open to spill out the horrors within, and Siobhan has learned to fear her shadow. Her fearsome reputation—the Raven Queen—has grown until it seems to gain a life of its own. But she would never have survived this long if she let a little setback like that stop her from achieving her goals. As tensions begin to rend apart the world around Siobhan, she understands the need for power—in all its forms—to control her own fate. Knowledge, magic, and a reputation that will bind others to her will and her cause. Through power comes freedom.
