About this ebook
“If you like fantasy, Necromancy, adventure or mystery, the Beholder series will satiate your needs but leave you open mouthed and begging for more.” – Lovely Paranormal Books Blog
Most days, Elea couldn’t care less about being a witch, even if she does have special powers over spirit and bone. Why bother with incantations when you’re a farm girl? Elea only uses her Necromancer magic to speed up chores and scare off suitors.
Everything changes when the evil Necromancer Tsar curses Elea. Now, she only has five years left before she burns as a ghost, tortured for all eternity. They say there’s nothing she can do, but Elea disagrees. Embracing her Necromancer ability, Elea trains as a magical assassin. Her goal? Kill the Tsar before his curse kills her. After years of preparation, Elea’s finally ready to strike.
That’s when everything goes horribly wrong.
A handsome warlock named Rowan steps up to help. Elea wants him as an ally, but she can’t ignore the mixed-up feelings that come with every one of Rowan’s crooked smiles. An assassination mission is no time to fall in love, but Elea’s heart may have other ideas...

A superb read! A curse... A vow to end the enemy... An unexpected ally... Dangers and adventures... And maybe even love... Such an interesting and well-written read from the author. A highly recommended read if you enjoy fantasy, Necromancy and a hint of romance. A great start to what I am sure will be an exceptional series! Full of Necromancers, powers, Casters, Sentinel Spirits, enemies, secrets, danger, adventure, mystery, fantasy and a hint of romance. Perfect for readers of dark fantasy.

Even though it's free, Google play wants me to add a payment method. I loved the first 30pages which I got to read for free somewhere else, quite pity that I can't download it.

Loved it! Couldn't put it down even tho my eyes dried out n started burning. Had to read to the finish to find out the fate of Elea n Rowan. It was irresistible! Thank you for sharing your imaginative creation with us!
