Intent on defeating the Dark Queen and destroying the Veil, Prince Tal and Alexandria arrive at Markingham to discover a city on the verge of collapse, its people starving, and children vanishing without a trace. Hopes of launching attacks from the city against the Dark Queen evaporate. To make matters worse, the tiny breach in the Veil allows only a trickle of soldiers and supplies to pass through.
Before the city’s defenses can be restored, the Baleful, a vast army composed of melded humans and animals led by a giant centaur, sweeps across the land like locusts, leaving nothing behind.
In the midst of turmoil and conflict, the love between Tal and Alex reaches white-hot intensity. But the leader of a ragtag militia group wants Tal for herself and will do anything to get him…even strike a bargain with a child-killing witch for a potion to make her irresistible.
But every witch’s brew comes with a price.

Magical Brilliance  – My Book Review

Processed With Darkroom

The Conquest of the Veil is a phenomenal series. A Witch’s Brew continues with the fantasy saga with exceptional storytelling and writing.

A Witch’s Brew  has a cast of characters from a troll to a witch, along with flying horses, and a continued young romance between Tal and Alex. Thrown in this mix are still people fighting for good against wicked people. The addition of magical powers and spells went wrong and readers get a fantasy saga of a book that was unputtable down for me.

This book is definitely not a stand-alone book since this story is a continuing saga. A Witch’s Brew  by author, Michael Scott Clifton, is the second fantasy book I have read by him. This series is soon becoming the perfect escapism for me.

The magical brilliance of Clifton’s writing and imagination continues in A Witch’s Brew  in how he continues to creatively imagine putting a new spin on all these combined story elements.

One of my favorite aspects of reading a book is the point where my mind wanders back to the story during the day. A Witch’s Brew  allowed me to daydream and forget while I reading the story. Fans of imitate plots, intrigue with mythical creatures, and magic will definitely embrace this series.

My most favorite aspect of reading a book in a series is the next book that will follow. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the Conquest of the Veil series and reading where the story of Tal and Alex will end up.

Lastly, I want to do a shout-out to the artist, Nancy E. Durham for her illuminating black and white illustrations in the book. While all the designs are incisive Nancy captures the story’s essence in the illustration proceeding Chapter 1 in A Witch’s Brew .
