Literary journey of an office career escapee
“We were desperate people, scrounging in a desperate world.” The three of them on the way to the destination even a better-equipped group is unlikely to reach.

This book pulls you in and doesn’t let go. The author has a magical component that she adds to her writing, which makes you live the characters’ lives rather than simply read about them. “Sky Watcher: A Shadow in Time” by Heather Lynn is a story about Charlotte.

Picking up right from where my review of the previous book of the trilogy ended… Imagine the sinister castle with the dark corridors and dungeons hiding the sufferings of innocent victims – young girls who possess ‘destructive’ magic, something men ruling the world cannot allow women to wield, so they don’t lose their power… “Mercy...
