ARC kindly provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

The Warrior
The war between Dosalyn and Roanaan has ended, but a new battle begins for prisoner-of-war, Ottilde Dominax. Dreams of her witchbreed twin sister are visions of death and betrayal. Driven by their grim warning, she escapes her captors and races across nations to save her sister. 

But she may arrive too late…

The Witch
Oriabel Dominax has kept her healing magic secret while she cares for her family's struggling estate. But the arrival of a new lord with secrets of his own, the discovery of a dark and addictive magic, and threats from a cruel blackmailer push Oriabel closer to disaster.

Through it all, the Witch’s Tree calls…

I just love when I'm reminded from time to time to never judge a story by  its book cover. Never. 

This book is an epic fantasy and its so well written that I couldn't put it down until I was done reading it. The characters are complex, you just can't help but fall inlove with the  twins Ottilde and Oriabel . I liked them both. I liked Hito too and I was kind of wishing for Wilder and Ottilde. These two really fit together. Or even with Kala. Yes, I'm weird.  The plot is well put together and has shocking moments. 

Overall , this book puts you into a captivating, dark and mystic world, with witches,warriors and all kinds of bloodthirty creatures. A queen thirsty for power, a new lord who tries to protect his new village, a gifted noble girl who tries to help others and hide her most dark secret, and the other twin, the warrior who felt in disgrace 

I'm gonna keep my eyes on The Witchbreed Series and I  hope to read a second book from it.
