Labyrinth of Shadows (The Witch's Rebirth, #1)

Forget everything you thought you knew about witches....It begins with her rebirth.

Imagine a collapsing Roman Empire in the year 478 AD, ravaged by celestial fire...A prophecy. A witch. A world on the brink.

From award-winning author Michaela Riley comes Labyrinth of Shadows: The Witch's Rebirth Part I, a descent into a dark fantasy realm where myths and legends dance with the clash of steel and arcane power, a tapestry woven with threads of sword and sorcery.

Forget everything you know about witches, for Merona's tale begins not with spell books and cauldrons, but with a stolen life and a destiny she never asked for.

The wind howled a mournful dirge across the ravaged fields of Gaul, a land choked by shadow and despair. Everything felt dark. The crops withered, hope had become a forgotten whisper, and the iron grip of the sorcerer Armaeus tightened with each passing day. Yet, embers still flickered in the hearts of the oppressed, fueled by an ancient prophecy, a whispered promise of a witch's rebirth, a hope that must win.

Whispers of the Seer's prophecy echoed through the desolate villages, foretelling the birth of a witch, a child of the eclipse, destined to either save Gaul or plunge it into eternal darkness. Her arrival would ignite a war unlike any other, a battle not only for land and power, but for the very soul of the world. There was no telling all the witch will do, the sacrifices she would make, or the horrors she would face to deliver her people from Armaeus's tyranny.

Born on Samhain, as the veil between worlds frayed thin, Merona was more than just a child; she was a vessel of ancient power, a beacon of defiance in a land consumed by fear. As her twelfth birthday loomed, the truth of her heritage began to unravel, learning what her power is - a potent blend of earth magic and raw, untamed fury. But with knowledge came danger. Armaeus, the master of shadows, sensed her awakening and prepared his most treacherous game, a labyrinth of illusions and nightmares designed to break her spirit and steal her power.

Protected by the watchful gaze of the Morrigan, the fearsome goddess of war and fate, Merona knew her path would be paved with blood and sacrifice. The world needs to be saved, and she alone held the key. Within the labyrinth, she battled grotesque creatures born of Armaeus's twisted imagination, navigated treacherous traps fueled by dark magic, and faced the chilling truth of her own potential for destruction. But even in the darkest corners, fate guides her way, revealing fragments of the prophecy, whispering secrets of her past, and hinting at the strength that lay dormant within.

For Merona's journey was more than just a quest to defeat a sorcerer; it was a trial by fire, a crucible where she would be forged into the weapon Gaul desperately needed. To succeed, she would have to embrace her destiny, confront her deepest fears, and sacrifice everything she held dear. The fate of Gaul rested on her shoulders, a weight that threatened to crush her. But in the face of overwhelming darkness, Merona clung to the fragile ember of hope, determined to reveal the prophecy, unleash her power, and reclaim the light that had been stolen from her people. Whether she emerged as a savior or a destroyer remained to be seen, but one thing was certain: Gaul would never be the same.
