Where does the story of the Owens bloodline begin? With Maria Owens, in the 1600s, when she’s abandoned in a snowy field in rural England as a baby. Under the care of Hannah Owens, Maria learns about the “Unnamed Arts”. Hannah recognizes that Maria has a gift and she teaches the girl all she knows. It is here that she learns her first important lesson. Always love someone who will love you back.

When Maria is abandoned by the man who has declared his love for her, she follows him to Salem, Massachusetts. Here she invokes the curse that will haunt her family. And it is here that she learns the rules of magic and the lesson that she will carry with her for the rest of her life. Love is the only thing that matters.

Very interesting book. Proof that you can tell a romantic story without making it cheesy.

The topic of magic is way more explored than in the other two, but reads and plays well with the story.

I would rate them in reverse, this being the best of the three and the first published being the worst. How things interconnect With each other almost make the existence of the first one to make sense.
