The scariest witch of all is one who wants to steal a life to extend her own.

To trap her victims, she pretends to help them.

And the scariest of witches has done this more than once.

In Autumn Spells that Scary Witch is Neehla.

Eager to re-embody herself in a younger woman, Neehla builds asorcerous spell. She traps the swordmaster Hethan in her spell and sends him after the Green Mage Saisha.

She does not know that Hethan and Saisha have met before.

She does not know that Saisha has befriended an accursed Prica, a man trapped in wolf form.

And she certainly doesn’t know that Hethan and Saisha will be united in love and determined not to be willing victims in Neehla’s plot.

The corrupt dame Neehla wants the swordsman Hethan to bring a Green mage to Senric Keep. There she will reincarnate herself in Saisha’s younger body.

She bespells Hethan to rip away Saisha’s power.

Hethan and Saisha first met in Baien Castletown. Although they were attracted, her magic prevented him from pursuing any connection.

Now the dame’s dark spells brings them together.

Can Saisha disentangle Hethan from the sorcery? Or will she be trapped and turned into a wraith while the dark dame inhabits her body?

This is Edie Roones’ second book, but it is actually the first book written — which she rewrote — and reworked — and revised — then totally gutted and wrote again — then revised one more time during 2016 to publish it!

Four Seasons. Four Trials Against Evil.

Classic battles of good against evil,

magic against sorcery,

and freedom against slavery and oppression

Read on for the prologue to the fantasy novel Autumn Spells.

Prologue

In this life her name was Neehla. Over many lives, she had lost some things, gained others. Through them all, her sorcery remained tangible evil, woven from the elemental air and the incense of her spells.

Her fingers flew across the loom, weaving a snare for the unwary. She snatched a spiral of smoke from the air and twisted it deftly before joining the sorcered strand to the thread on the shuttle. As it shot across the warp threads on the loom, the gray smoke deepened, becoming as darkly hued as the power that shaped it.

The Wyrded Forest from Remi Black

Posted on September 25, 2026September 17, 2026 by writer35_bg

Celebrate the Anniversary of The first novella in the Spells of Earth trilogy

The Wyrded Forest

In The Wyrded Forest ~

Elemental Earth is a life-potential power. Can it be wielded to kill?

The Wyrded Forest: Wizardry burnt out and memory gone, Desora re-built her life in an isolated corner of the Northern Reaches.

She only wields the life-growing power of elemental Earth. She has nothing of Fire, Air, or Water. No fiery bolts, no whirlwinds, no drowning spheres: nothing for defense or attack.

Shape-shifting wolfen threaten her, able to transform out of Moon-turn.

And strangely gory deaths in the High Meadow mean a mysterious monster prowls, looking for life to consume.

With death menacing, Desora has no protection except her wards.

Wolfen and the eldritch monster kill the defenseless. Can Desora discover new ways to wield Earth before she becomes prey?

For elemental magic and dangerous Dark Fae allies, treacherous shape-shifters, and a twisty sorceress that seeks to defeat anyone associated with wizardry, look no further than The Wyrded Forest.

How did Spells of Water develop?

The Fae Mark’d World‘s first introduction to readers was with the Wizard Alstera epic novels: Weave a Wizardry Web, Dream a Deadly Dream, and Sing a Graveyard Song. Before Remi started writing the fourth novel in this series, she had a couple of problems that she needed to work out. Thus, the side series Fae Mark’d World came to be.

The first trilogy worked the details between the sorcerers and the shapeshifting wolfen. The Wilding came to be an important setting, not quite a boundary to the Wastes, to which the dragons were banished after their defeat by the Wizards and Fae.

That first trilogy is Spells of Air, with Orielle and Grim. The individual titles are To Wield the Wind, To Charm the Wind, and To Curse the Wyre.

This second trilogy is working on another problem, and Remi can tell that she will need more than Spells of Earth to work through all the details.

Each trilogy in the Fae Mark’d World is a complete story, not interlinked yet dealing with similar antagonists and More.

The Spells of Earth trilogy includes The Wyrded Forest, The Riven Gate, and The Mysts of Sorcery. Readers will experience a greater enjoyment reading the novellas in order.

Death. That was the omen that the crows and ravens brought to Inkeri.

Deep in the desert Idros Ahdreide, men had lost their lives in battle against a strange evil. A half-Fae wielder, Inkeri ventures to investigate.

Rhodren, baron of the Bois Argent, is commanded by his king to investigate the disappearance of a troop and a caravan, lost at the abandoned citadel of the Archais, deep in the Ahdreide. Yet when he and his men reach the border, a flock of crows and ravens attack.

Surviving that attack, Rhodren and his men are then confronted by slavering panthers. Inkeri comes to their aid.

The Ahdreide has predators aplenty, all willing to feast on the wariest of travelers. What enemy marshals these dangers? What evil lurks at the Archais?

Will a wielder of elemental Water and mortal men discover the truth without become prey for the desert predators?

2nd ~ Storm of Spells

A menacing watcher lurks in the citadel—with twisted sorcery as a guard.

The citadel at Saet’Idros Archais guarded a passage from the Wastes into the Great Vale. After centuries of duty, the Fae, Enclave wizards, and mundane men abandoned the outpost … then people began to vanish.

The half-Fae healer Inkeri, Baron Rhodren, and his men crossed old bones to discover the whereabouts of a missing caravan and two troops.

Yet a presence watches their entry into the citadel, a presence more terrible than twisted sorcerers, their shape-shifting wyre, and a traitorous Dark Fae.

Both Inkeri and Rhodren sense the watcher, but neither anticipates the dire threat it represents.

How many will die before the missing are found?

3rd in Series ~ Venom of Dragons

Carved into the mountain’s rock, the citadel of Saet’Idros Archais is now the battleground between good and evil, elemental power and foul sorcery, and a sinister monster more terrible than a crazed Dark Fae.

Inkeri, Baron Rhodren and his men, and their new allies the Lucent Fae have defeated the sorcerers and their minion shapeshifters. Yet the Dark Fae brings more foes to the citadel, and the fight becomes desperate.

How can Inkeri and Rhodren win when evil’s battlefield is the mind?

Summer Sieges: medieval fantasy

Posted on August 30, 2026April 27, 2026 by writer35_bg

The first book in the alternate medieval fantasy by Edie Roones: Seasons in Sansward

& Edie Roones’ First Book

& the First Book Published by Writers’ Ink Books

Summer Sieges

Honor and death? Or cowardice and life?

Stark choices, and not that easy.

Beren, a warder at Caldew Keep, swore an oath to defend her lord and lady. The arrival of the Watrani horde, allied with the Gitane Witches, changes the world she has known.

The Gitane Witches are sorcerers who have been exiled from Sansward for generations. They were banished after they were defeated in the Great War. What brings them to Caldew Keep, so far from the border with Watran?

Rumors say the Witches are searching for a talisman, lost years upon years ago, when the Witches were exiled.

Then the lady of Caldew Keep reveals that Caldew has hidden the Eye for generations. Lady Treasache orders Beren to protect the Eye, a magical crystal that increases a wielder’s power.

This talisman, the Eye ~ this is the reason the Witches have come so far into Sansward.

The Eye can magnify power ~ and that’s the obvious reason the Witches want its restoration to them.

Yet the Eye can do more. It can free sorcerers trapped in stone, and many of the more dangerous witches were imprisoned in rock rather than exiled. Their return will leave the Sansward allies with no defense against the Gitane.

Yet the Eye has one more benefit. It can remove curses.

At the end of the Great War, the formidable fighting warriors of Prica were transformed through sorcery into wolves that turned on their allies, the army of Sansward. Should the Prica resume their manhood, they will want a terrible vengeance on the Gitane Witches who imprisoned them. Time has reduced their number … even as it intensified their hate for the witches.

Lady Treasache intends to steal away with the Eye in a desperate bid to keep it from the Gitane. The Prica Storr thinks to use the Eye to shift back into man.

Will Beren sacrifice herself in a futile attempt to guard the Eye? With only a sword as defense against sorcery, can she survive a battle against the Gitane Witches? Or will she discover that the road to death is littered with people who chose honor over life?

The Mysts of Sorcery ~ Conclusion of Spells of Earth

Posted on May 25, 2026February 9, 2026 by writer35_bg

Betrayal rears an ugly head in The Mysts of Sorcery.

When her own spell blasted away her magic and destroyed her memory, Desora had abandoned everything. Now, discovering the depths of elemental Earth and her memory returning, she is on the verge of recovering all she’d lost—even her lost love, Brax.

Yet fierce battles loom before Desora and her allies.

The monster escaped. It heads for Mulgrum, killing as it flees. The Dark Fae Horst and his remaining riders track the sorcerer and his wyre.

Only when the monster is destroyed will Mulgrum and the Northern Reaches be safe. The sorcerer who brought the monster through the portal must also die.

With allies gathered, the final deadly battle nears. Desora risks losing all she’s regained as she confronts a monster she has no idea how to destroy.

Then betrayal rears its ugly head.
