Before Briony's stepmother died,
she made sure Briony blamed herself for all the family's hardships. Now
Briony has worn her guilt for so long it's become a second skin. She
often escapes to the swamp, where she tells stories to the Old Ones, the
spirits who haunt the marshes. But only witches can see the Old Ones,
and in her village, witches are sentenced to death. Briony lives in fear
her secret will be found out, even as she believes she deserves the
worst kind of punishment.
Then Eldric comes along with his
golden lion eyes and mane of tawny hair. He's as natural as the sun, and
treats her as if she's extraordinary. And everything starts to change.
As many secrets as Briony has been holding, there are secrets even she
doesn't know.
Meh! I trudged 40 pages into this book, looking for the plot. Took me 2 days to get that far & I just couldn't anymore. I will try again at another time, but right now....YAWN!
