The Warlock's Curse
by C. B. Oresky
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Young Adult Fantasy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Clara and Angelica Grace have never met ghosts. They’ve never
sailed on a tall ship, ridden wild unicorns, or fought with magical weapons.
Instead, the teenage twins have a wretched existence, ignored by their troubled
parents in a rundown home and tormented by the town’s snobs.
Everything
turns topsy-turvy all of a sudden when discovery of an ancestor’s hidden
journal with an odd key to an unknown door leads them into an entirely
different realm.
The
girls go on a thrilling oceanic voyage to search for mysterious whales, train
with a seasoned warrior, and are befriended by a wise Master. But all is not a
bouquet of lovely lilies…they are hunted by a cunning warlock and must rid
themselves of The Warlock’s Curse.

EXCERPT:
Catapulted forward by the hurrying tide, Claudius’s ship now
sailed upon the phantasm of a massive whale. The sleek vessel hung momentarily
on the edge of the watery precipice of white light, then slipped straight down
the monster’s wide-open chasm…
The massive leviathans crooned, their haunting voices
echoing across the waters. The air melted where the white-edged waves lapped
peacefully against the shore. A glowing, ethereal passageway opened before the
girls.
The cool room grew cold, horribly cold. In the muted light,
an ethereal form was materializing right before Clara’s eyes. It slowly took
the shape of a slender woman dressed in a silken gown of forest green.
A ray of light beamed down from between the ever-moving
shapeless clouds. Glimmering beneath this glowing light, Aomar rose tall upon
his unicorn mount. “Let’s vanquish this monstrous rabble now and end this!” he
called, mustering his troops.

REVIEW
This book was so amazing. The characters really draw you in with their whimsical ways. Each page was filled with excitement and interesting times. I felt the author really poured their heart into this one. Such an enjoyable story. This is a new author for me and I look forward to reading more. This is a must read!

the works of Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, C.B. Oresky began writing her own fantasy
novel, The Warlock’s Curse, after dreaming of being whisked off to an alien
realm. Besides her debut novel, she has seen four of her short stories

Tiggy the hedgehog, and a yard filled with majestic flowers.
