(4) YA After Elizabeth (The Witch Hunter) transfers her "stigma," the source of her power, to healer (and former enemy) John, she must find new ways to fight; an unlikely coalition of witches, rebels, and revenants help take on usurper king Blackwell. Boecker's blend of romance and magic is atmospheric, if lacking tension; some readers may find Malcolm's redemption (a rapist in the predecessor) disquieting.
