Witch Wars - (Witches of Orkney) by Alane Adams (Paperback)

About the Book

Orkney is on the brink of war now that the witches have destroyed Odin's Stone--the powerful talisman that kept the balance. With the evil he-witch Vertulious returned to his full form (thanks to Abigail's help), nothing will stop the witches from taking over Orkney--unless Abigail and Hugo can find a way to balance the power. Can Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor, do the trick?

Book Synopsis

Abigail's second year at the Tarkana Academy has been an all-out disaster. She's just unwittingly helped Vertulious, an ancient he-witch and powerful alchemist, destroy Odin's Stone and restore his powers, and now all of Orkney is caught up in the threat of war as the witches prepare to destroy the helpless Orkadians. Determined to set things right, Abigail and Hugo set off for Jotunheim, the land of the giants, to find a weapon to restore the balance. All they have to do is track down the God of Thunder and convince Thor to turn his hammer over to them.

When their former-friend-now-foe Robert Barconian arrives with a band of dwarves, intent on stopping them, Abigail and friends must unite to prevent a war that will destroy them all. But has Abigail made the biggest mistake of all by trusting in the wrong ally?
