Aladdin was a lad in trouble but now the talented young spy is ready to settle his score with Ahban Nazeer; a man who had torn down his World-Tree… a man who is now fresh out of wishes and needs ambitious Blackstone's trainee and Centaur, Epona Brenwen, to help him unite the five realms of Persia. Meanwhile Epona’s mentor, Elliot Blackstone, journeys to the Faun realm of Panonia to represent a Human accused of Witch-Trickery at the behest of a crown wearing swan. New lovers, Vincent and Fury, also take a dip to Mermadom where the King wants rid of a veritable booty of sunken treasure.

From three realms, three questions arise: Firstly, what are the true consequences of Epona rubbing a rusty old lamp? Secondly, why does Elliot’s client have such a preoccupation with weeds? And lastly, what really happened to the twenty-seven ships in the back-seabed of Mermadom’s Royal palace?

At the centre of all three cases is a Mermaid who may just hold the key to alleviating the plights of all those involved.

Journey once again to Arbor, a World-Tree full of wonders, where jeopardy lurks behind every judgment and mystery beside every mediation. 'Blackstone & Brenwen: Swan Song for a Sibling', Fairy Tale Legal Thriller and eagerly anticipated sequel to 'Blackstone & Brenwen: The Mirror & The Meretrix'.

One Less Warlock by Judith Post

One Less Warlock by Judith Post My rating: 4 of 5 stars I think it's hard in a short story to create a unique setting, characters, etc., and still get some sort of story line in. In One Less Warlock, Judith did an excellent job of molding the story in such a way that we got a taste of a distinct world and character personalities, and a complete story to go with it. In this short story Judith was able to pack in witches, vampires, a sexy Were, succubus, voodoo, murder, and mystery, all in only about 20 pages. Pretty amazing. I enjoyed the story and Babet, the main character, and am looking forward to more of her in the future. View all my reviews
