Unveiling the Hidden
As the plot unfolds, Rietta and Killian, driven by ominous sensations, venture to Axiax Castle after a troubling encounter.

Wow, ik heb net deel vijf van ‘Like The Wind On Dry Branches’ gelezen en ik moet zeggen, het was een rit! Rietta en Killian zijn zo wakkere protagonisten. Dat ze ineens Saint Tania in Axiax Castle iets duisters zien doen? Echt onverwacht! Het breekt mijn hart als ze die demon Merdes oproepen – zoals wat?! De spanning is om te snijden. Ik kan echt niet wachten op hoe dit afloopt… Vorige boeken waren goed, maar dit draait alles om de crazy plotwendingen en ook nog eens diepgang in de personages. Geweldig geschreven trouwens!
