The Brotherhood of Assassin's creed says: No one ever leaves
The creed was a set of
unwritten laws that bound the Brotherhood together. It concerned loyalty and
dedication, concepts ingrained into every assassin’s soul. The creed dictated
that the Brotherhood, above all else, came first. The one underlying and
unbreakable rule of the creed was, once you entered the brotherhood, you never
left ...
There can be no exceptions. The
traitor must die.

The long-awaited final book in the Witch Stone Prophecy series!
Jeda DeLongo has a bad feeling as he watches his twin daughters Kala and Kara, the infamous children of prophecy, crowned as the Duchess and Countess of Berkshire. His sixth sense has never failed him in the past, and when the king is assassinated during the celebration, the dawning horror that the Kingdom of Tavia is under attack by desert warriors cannot be denied. The new king has declared war, and Jeda, Keisha, and Kara race to Eastford to rescue their gypsy family, but will they arrive in time, or has everyone already perished under the desert onslaught?
Arin, the self-proclaimed Prince of the Desert, has never forgiven the kingdom witch who murdered his father and sister and has vowed revenge. Now he’s done the impossible—united all the desert tribes under his banner. He launches his attack against Tavia with his secret weapon—a Black Coven witch who has learned how to harness the magic of the desert warriors. The only way to stop the witch is for Jeda, Kara, and Kala to unleash the power of the legendary Witch Stone, but will it be enough?

Fantasy epic, highly recommended!, January 5, 2012

K. Sozaeva "Obsessive bibliophile" (Athens, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Assassin's Curse (The Witch Stone Prophecy) (Kindle Edition)
This is a really great book - it moves fast, but at the same time develops the characters to the point where you will really feel for them. Mave is a wonderful villain, in that I really, truly hated him and hoped he would come to a bad end. Jeda is a perfect anti-hero, and the girls Kala and Kara are so different from each other and unique - I was really impressed with how the authors developed them. The Black and White Covens created a wonderful contrast and I found it highly entertaining; the Assassin's Guild is just vague enough that you are drawn between unease over the assassinations, and interest that they would provide this sort of service for hire. Fans of epic fantasy or good, old-fashioned, high-quality storytelling will all love this book - highly recommended!!
By WestCoastBookLover This review is from: Assassin's Curse (The Witch Stone Prophecy) (Kindle Edition)
Every once in a while I find a book that draws me in so effectively that I don't want to put it down. Assassin's Curse is one of those books. Jeda is a great hero, even though he's forced into the role. The authors do a great job of transitioning him from cold-blooded killer into unwilling hero, and then finally a man who'll freely stop at nothing to protect his family.
There's more than one "villain" in this book. But Mave gets my vote for being the scariest. Literally. This guy is pure evil. I spent the entire book enthusiastically anticipating Jeda finally getting the best of Mave. I wasn't disappointed.There were a few twists in the book that I didn't see coming--which is always a plus. If you're a fan of fantasy, or just plain ol' good storytelling...grab this one. It's a keeper!

This is an amazing book. I could hardly put it down once I started. The story is well-written and engaging, really pulling you into this world that David and Debra have created. All of the characters were fleshed out wonderfully. I felt like I knew them all as close friends rather than people I just read about. I would highly recommend this read to anyone who loves an exciting read. Geat job!
