About Witch Raising: The Book of Fire
Witch Raising is a new series with Brownie, the heroine of Demon Soul as the main character. This series is part of the House at the Crossing Series and follows Demon Soul and Demon and Fairy but instead of being centered on the adventure of Sahel and his demon friends, it follows Brownie as she goes from being a normal girl to a bad ass witch. She has been practicing magick for a while now, saving people from difficult situations but the people at the house, including Sahel aren't happy with her new calling. Feeling that she doesn't have a choice and has to keep learning witchcraft, Brownie leaves to meet other witches.
The excerpt, we start where we left off last week
The city was never
ending. She had never thought about it really but it was huge. From
where she lived, she couldn't feel most of it. She was so far away
from the real big center. It was as if the city was actually composed
of many little city all around it and this big busy bulb at that real
center. They were in it at the moment. The tall building made of
concrete and glass passed in front of her window one after the
others, the street bellows when the train crossed a bridge with so
many cars and buses and passerby, and life. It almost felt
suffocating. Her side of the city was filled with one or two story
houses, parks, greens and trees in every street. The children could
play ball in the middle of the road without any danger of getting hit
by a car. Here, the city was busy with honking and people running and
parents never let go of their children's hands. It was a different
sort of crazy. The sort of crazy she had longed for long ago when she
had visited London with Grenadine. Something full of life. Her crazy
now, only seemed full of struggle and possible pain and death.
There were more to life
than demons and magic, there were more to life than a quiet pseudo
rural life. But maybe that was out of reach for her now, where she
was going would bringer closer to her magic. She wished she could
bring a balance between her normal life and the magic but that was
merely a dream. She didn't really dare to wish too hard anymore. She
knew the devastating consequences a wish out of control could bring.
At least, she had the reassurance that she did the right thing. She
saved Yue's soul by bringing it to Sahel and Sahel was helping people
in a way. It couldn't all be that bad even if Karma didn't seem to
agree with it so much.
The center of the city
finally vanished leaving place to scarce patches of house and trees.
This side was different than hers, it looked poorer and poorly kept.
There were houses in ruins and some with roofs made of toll. There
were tall building attached to each other with boutiques on the
ground floor and clothes drying outside on the upper balconies. Yet
another side of life.
And still Brownie couldn't
figure out where she fit in. She had a plan and it all fell apart and
over the past months, all she had cared about was survival. So much
stress in her life, so much anxiety, so little sleep, so little rest
and so little time to do anything else than react. When one crisis
was over, it was time for the other to start.
