Emmy's a freak. They call her a Darkwitch. A demon. All her life as an abused apprentice in Krodge's Apothecary, she's wondered: who am I? When the Masvams attack, Emmy loses her home, her mistress, her life - but the changes bring more knowledge about her heritage than she ever dreamed of knowing. The Masvam crown lies at the tips of Prince Mantos's fingers, but his brother wants it more. Bandim will stop at nothing to get what he wants. He'll use dark magic. He'll even kill. There's more to Emmy than the moons' light shows. Mantos faces a dark choice: kill his brother, or be killed. Both must answer the question: Who are you?
In this chapter, you're introduced to Emmy. She's a long-suffering servant of a cruel mistress, and you see how badly she's treated by the other members of their town because of her difference: she's of different colours. However, she's not a demon. She's just normal like everyone else, with anxieties and fears. Then, at the end of the chapter, the unexpected turns up on her doorstep...
This is the first chapter of 'Rise of the Darkwitch', and the main conflict of the trilogy is set up. Two brothers, Mantos and Bandim, eternally against one another. With the death of their father, they have nothing left to bind them. When the brothers are separated, the whole world falls into chaos.
