Isadora Fyne is a witch, one of three sisters. At present,
in an alternate medieval universe, she's living with the
Emperor Sebestyen and Empress Liane, watching over and
taking care of the Empress. The Empress is pregnant with
twins, and if the Emperor learns of this, he will kill one
child to protect the lineage of the other.
Isadora is also in possession of the Star of Bacwyr, a star
sapphire of magical qualities, sought after by Lucan, of
the Circle of Bacwyr. But when Lucan comes to the Emperor's
palace in search of the Star, he discovers Isadora has it
and though he detests witches, Lucan must do whatever he
can to win her over until she relinquishes it to him.
Then the Emperor learns of the twins. Isadora is thrown
into prison and no longer has the sapphire. Now Lucan must
decide which star he really wants -- the sapphire or
Isadora, The Star Witch. Unfortunately, the three sisters
have a curse placed on their family that will mean the
death of Lucan if Isadora falls in love with him.
THE STAR WITCH is the third in the Sisters of the Sun
trilogy. I loved the characters, the medieval setting was
believable and there was plenty of action. Emperor
Sebestyen is the character you love to hate, and the way
Ms. Jones weaves the stories together brings the entire
tale to a happy and satisfying finale. The appearance of
the other two sisters was inspired and true to the original
storyline. I liked this book very much -- a good read.
The Sun Witch and The Moon Witch introduced
the Fyne sisters, three different and engrossing witches
coming into their own. Here, the eldest wonders how she can
remain chaste with a sensuous enemy tempting her.
