Wild Winter, The

As Book 3 of the Witches at War series begins, Sam has come along way from being an orphan apprenticed to an old witch, to being a gorgeously dressed, lavishly housed prisoner of Diabolica Nightshade. “On the night of the Midwinter Moon she[ Diabolica] is going to crown herself Wicked but Lovely Witch Queen of All the World. All this is very bad.” Diabolic taunts Sam about her being good and succeeds in enraging Sam. Sam decides to go NASTY even to the point of turning her best friend into a zombie-witch. Diabolica is convinced Sam is evil, after Sam offers and takes a ‘truth potion’. No one can lie after taking the truth potion, but while Sam is telling the truth, it is not the whole truth, because the right questions have not been asked of her. Diabolica’s coronation turns into a battle field with spells flying threw the air. Diabolica’s only competitor for the Witch Queen of All the World, Esmelia, is leading the battle charge against Diaboica, but it is Esmelia’a secret admirer, who leads the wizards into the fray, as the battle seems lost, that wins for the ‘better’ of two evils.
