Summary

In the Land of Five, witches are divided into five Covens based on their abilities. For those born without magic, like Lilith, the Arcane Ceremony, where witches are evaluated by the Council, is a waste of time.

When Lilith develops powers, though, her entire life turns upside down. With power comes responsibility, and with it, the serious possibility of leaving her home coven.

But her secrets don't stay secret for long. An attack from a rogue witch forces her to use her newfound ability and reveals it to the entire Land of Five. Intrigued by her finesse, the Council recruits her. Fearing the consequences of saying no, Lilith accepts, but not everything is not as it seems. Under their wing, Lilith gradually learns the truth...everything she's learned about the Land of Five, herself included, has been nothing but lies.

The Council

I loved this book! Lilith is a witch,maybe.She has a limp and a story she doesn't rrust explaining it. She has a few friends,but the Council wants Lilith,not them.She doesn't get it,yet. Well written,intriguing book one in a series.I am looking forward to book 2. Lynn Norris was the perfect narrator.I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.

Couldn't wait to begin Book 2

It didn't take long for Lynn Norris' narration to have me right there in the thick of it. At first, I expected a sort of Harry Potter experience but it was far from that. I think that this book will appeal to both the young adult and the young-at-heart audience, myself being one from the latter.

Kayla Krantz paints a perfect picture of the land of five and life within it. Five what? Oh, five covens of course.

Addictive.. 🤩❤️witches and magic!

This is my first book by Kayla Krantz and I was not disappointed. The descriptions of the many characters and the details of the scenes are excellent. I felt as though I was right there with Lilith. Lilith finds out she has powers. She is learning what ALL she can do. The council shows up and takes her away from her home. Lilith is on a great journey of discovery and danger. She has to find strength within herself to survive.
Who can she trust?
I loved this first book in this series.
The narrator did an amazing job bringing the characters to life.

Excellent start to the trilogy

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Lilith Lace lives in the Land of Ignis she thought she was born powerless but when she develops powers from the Land of Mentis the Council take notice of her . She is at a ceremony when members of the Council forcefully take her and force her to join the Council. She is forced to carry out work finding rogue members of the Land of Five who sympathise with The Elementals even though she doesn’t agree with the Councils methods or motives. I really enjoyed listening although there’s a huge cliffhanger but thankfully the second book is already available so I’m off to listen to that now. The narrator Lynn Norris is excellent at every voice she does.

The Council

I really enjoyed this book by Kayla Krantz. Once started, could not stop listening to what happened next to the young witch Lilith, as she came into her powers. It was just so easy to get into the story and now raring to get into the second of this trilogy. It was narrated beautifully too by Lynn Norris, who managed to capture each character and kept up with the pace and the plot of the story as it came to its gripping end. Getting straight onto the second book now!!!
