Waterspell Book 1: The Warlock
ByPublisher Description
Making a place for yourself in a world where you don't belong takes courage. So does moving in with a warlock.
Drawn into the schemes of an angry wizard, Carin glimpses the place she once called home. It lies upon a shore that seems unreachable. To learn where she belongs and how to get there, the lost traveler must decipher the words of an alien book, follow the clues in a bewitched poem, conjure a dragon from a pool of magic — and tread carefully around a tortured, emotionally scarred sorcerer who can't seem to decide whether to love her or kill her.
With elements of eco-fantasy, mystery, a little slow-burning romance, and dark dystopian undercurrents, Waterspell is a cross-genre story with too many layers for a single label. Intricate plot twists and compelling characters weave a tale of redemption and belonging, in a gripping saga that will captivate lovers of immersive storytelling.
The Warlock is Book 1 of the series. The story continues in Books 2-4: The Wysard, The Wisewoman, and The Witch. The saga carries on into a new generation with a pair of linked sequels, The Karenina Chronicles and The Fires of Farsinchia.
"A marvelously complex and captivating fantasy series." —The Published Page

About Deborah J. Lightfoot
Deborah J. Lightfoot, a native of West Texas, got her love of history from her grandfather, a High Plains cowboy. From her mother, an artist and avid reader, came her love of books and all things mysterious and magical. Dark horsemen entered her imagination through such early influences as the television show Have Gun Will Travel, in which Richard Boone's Paladin was "a knight without armor in a savage land." Small matter that the sophisticated Paladin wielded a six-shooter instead of a sword.
Six-shooters figure in Lightfoot's award-winning books of Western history and biography, The LH7 Ranch and Trail Fever. Swords and sorcery provide the action in her epic fantasy series, Waterspell, a six-book saga with medieval overtones and historical background. Adverse Reactions, a Western/paranormal/fantasy blend, brings together her various interests in a cross-genre work of dystopian speculative fiction.
With a journalism degree summa cum laude from Texas A&M University, Lightfoot has worked on both sides of the editorial desk for periodical and book publishers. She has taught creative writing at the college level and won numerous writing awards. She's a professional member of The Authors Guild and still lives in rural Texas.
