" Wit'ch Fire grabs at your heart and tears a little hole, then tears another, and another - a brutal and beautiful ride. I can't put the book down!"

" I loved every page of this book . . . [Clemens's] imagery is so brilliant that every scene comes instantly to life, and while everything seems immediately familiar, the reader soon learns to expect a new surprise with every page. And just as you think he can't possibly come up with anything else, a new character bursts upon the tale, bringing along a whole new level of sorcery!"

" Full of violence, magical pyrotechnics, and black-hearted villains."

Welcome back to Alasea!I can not express how much I appreciated all the kind words and letters I received regarding my first novel, WIT CH FIRE (Book One of the "Banned and the Banished" series from Del Rey). As a new author, it is always heartening to hear how the story has thrilled and excited new readers and fans. So it is with great pride that I introduce you to Book Two of the series, WIT CH STORM. In this follow-up, Elena, the young witch, begins her dark journey across the tortured landscape of Alasea. Surrounded by unlikely allies, her companions will face a test by fire and blood. Some will perish, some will betray, but those who remain will be forged into a team of dire magicks and fierce hearts.
While they fight their way through lands both bright and dark, more of Alasea s hidden histories will be revealed secrets buried in swamp castles and hidden in the hearts of dragons. Tides of prophecy will draw new friends and foes to the girl with a fist of magick and a book of black alchemies hidden on a sunken isle.
WIT CH STORM takes the story begun in the first book and expands its scope, depth, and breadth. From foggy marshes to ancient towers, from wooded plains to wind-swept coasts, Elena will seek her ultimate destiny, as the Wit ch of Spirit and Stone (FYI, Book Two also includes a map of the lands of Alasea!)
So join me once again, in a tale of heroism and treachery, adventure and suspense, as Elena takes her first steps on the long journey to bring light back to her cursed lands. Grab a sword, saddle your horse, and come along!
The journey for the future starts today.
