Waterspell Book 3: The Wisewoman

Publisher Description

How far would you go to find where you belong? Would you cross a continent? An ocean? A universe? 

Plague and pestilence have come to Ladrehdin. With their worst fears realized, Carin and Verek set out to put right everything that has gone so badly wrong. On the final leg of their quest, they retrace Carin's journey north from the plains, accompanied this time by the village wisewoman, Megella. Along the way, Meg dredges up — from an increasingly unreliable memory — the oldest of the "old stories," revealing how the actions of the Ancients continue to menace every life on the Wizards' World, and beyond.

With elements of eco-fantasy, mystery, enemies-to-lovers 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 Wisewoman is Book 3 of the series. Waterspell begins with Books 1–2: The Warlock and The Wysard, and ends the original series with Book 4: The Witch. The saga carries on, however, into a new generation in the pages of two 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.
