Well of Witches

Kara and Taff have escaped the Thickety, and are sailing to the mainland, hoping to free their father from a spell in which he has become Timoth Clen, the dreaded witch hunter. Kara is worried that she will not be able to succeed in this quest, especially given her guilt over freeing Rygoth and allowing her to build an army and for stealing (Taff's BFF) Safi's grimoire. After a harrowing escape from a sea monster, aided by Safi, the three find themselves reunited with Lucas on the mainland. To defeat Rygoth and her followers, Kara seeks to locate and enter the Well of Witches to seek the help of a former, treacherous village dweller. I liked White's imagination about the Well and Kara's ultimate test (by an important historical figure), show more leading to a daring escape and showdown, using her unique ability to bond with animals. show less
