DREAMS MADE FLESH--The Blood have waited centuries for the coming of Witch,
the living embodiment of magic. But Jaenelle, the young
girl prphecy spoke of, is haunted by the cruel battles fought
over her future power. For not all the blood await her as savior.
Some dismiis her as myth. Some refuse to believe. And
some would use her, making her a puppet to their whims.
Only time, and the love of her guardian have healed Jaenelle's physical wounds.
But her mind is still fragile, amnesia providing a shield from the terrors of her
childhood. Nothing, however, can shield her from her destiny.
And soon the day of reckining will come. When her memories return.
When her magic matures. When she is forced to accept her fate.
And on that day, the dark Realms will know what it means to ruled by Witch.
"Mystical, sensual, glittering with dark magic...brings a strong
new voice to the fantasy field."--Terri Windling, co-editor of Year's Best Fantasy and Horror
