The book opens with a prologue not too long after Full Circle. Morgan has returned to Ireland and is helping to rebuild Belwicket. Hunter is traveling all over setting up the New Charter, the successor of the Council. But tragedy strikes and the book shoots forward 15+ years.

The story is told in alternating fashion between Morgan's and Moira's viewpoints. Moira is looking forward to her initiation and a boy seems to be interested in her. Her mother is immediately suspicious. Between that and spellcraft homework, Moira comes to learn far more of her mother's past. As she tries to deal with the knowledge and how it might affect herself, Moira gets caught up in events as danger returns from the past.

An excellent story that starts grim but is compelling right to the wonderful ending. Hopefully there will be more of these Super Editions in the future.

This is the 15th book in the series and I have got to say that it's better than all of the others put togther. Ms Tieran really does exceed herself with this latest instalment. I'm not going to give to much away about the story because it is so full of twists and turns you HAVE to read it for your self.
This book is based twenty years later than the rest of the series when Morgan is a full grown woman and initiated witch. The story is told by Morgan and her 15 year old daughter Moira.
The prologue of the book misleads you into thinking that the story is going to be terrible, but believe me it does get MUCH better. The Prolouge is so sad that it had me in tears! I did'nt think that I could possibly read the rest of it!
But as with all of the sweep collection it is full of heartache, love, betrayal and some serious magic.
This book will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. I really hope that Tieran writes another one for the series because they just keep getting better and better.
One thing that I really loved about this book was seeing how much Morgan had grown and what had happened to the other main characters from the collection over the years.
If your a fan of the Sweep collection you have to read this book, but if you hav'nt read the other books I would advise you do so or else it won't be nearly as good!
I know you'll all enjoy this one.

I was so disappointed with this book. It is true that the book ties up a few loose ends left in the rest of the series but not ones I was interested in. like Morgan and Ciaran's relationship after book 14. The relationship dies completely. it doesn't involve any of the characters that you grew to know in the series, Bree, Robbie, Mary K, Raven, Alyce, Daniel. Also, even though this is Morgan's daughter's story, it's still the same problems all over again! "I don't know who I am anymore," "what if he's betraying me," "I have to find my father," "what the heck's going on?" blah blah blah. It's boring. This book is a TERRIBLE way to end a series. I don't recommend anyone who enjoyed the Sweep series to read this book.

This book was amazing. The book tells about Morgans daughter, Moira. Moira is 15 and starts learning secrets of her mothers past and why people think Morgan is the greatest witch. This book starts almost a whole new series. I hope that Cate Tiernan does continue with the series now focused on Moira.
