Curse-Maker: The Tale of Gwiddon Crow

by Alydia Rackham

What if the only way to save yourself was to plead for help from the person whose life you have destroyed?
Gwiddon Crow is a young, embittered Curse-Maker who haunts the Winterly Wood, free from all laws, unchained from the suffering of her past. Her master, Gwiddon Baba Yaga, calls upon Crow to cast a curse upon the tiny kingdom of Astrum, and destroy the Great Seal which protects it. But the curse goes terribly wrong.
Now, Crow is trapped in Astrum, alone with its angry prince--and the unbroken Seal is slowly draining her life. She must find a way to free herself from her own spell...
But the one who holds the key may be the very prince whom she has blinded, and whose kingdom she has turned to stone.
A stunning and spectacular original fairy tale continues Alydia Rackham's epic Curse-Breaker series. If you enjoy magic, mystery, and the power of true love, you will relish this tale.

About the author

You don’t have to be afraid when you read my books. Well—you might be terrified for the hero, because his arch-nemesis has him at gunpoint with his back to the river Thames, demanding that he hand over the code that could spell the downfall of Europe…
But you’ll never have to squint, worrying that the romantic scene is about to get FAR too steamy—or that, in a tirade, someone is about to spew a stream of obscenities that will make you want to shut the book and go take a shower.
I don’t write sexual scenes in my books. EVER. And I do not use profanity. EVER. And yes, God lives in my stories. He is the deep foundation—you can FEEL Him.
Yet, I can prove without a shadow of a doubt that WITHOUT ANYTHING risqué, you can still have the adventure of a lifetime between these pages. You’ll hold your breath, you’ll laugh, you’ll sit on the edge of your chair, you’ll stay up till two in the morning pinned to the page—and you might even cry. In fact, I’ll bet on that. And I HATE it when writers are lazy and tacky and beat you over the head with some philosophical or theological point they’re trying to make, instead of just TELLING THE STORY. So, I avoid that at all costs. Still not sold? Well, give one of these books a try. Go ahead—any of them! Whether we’re speeding through space, breaking through the ice on a frozen river, galloping on a chariot across the desert or running up the Asbru bridge chased by wolves…you’re still safe with me.
