| Review Summary |
Angelique was raised with the knowledge of bad magic. Her mother was a well known healer. Angelique was taken away by a man she thought to be her father to be an idol to his slaves. She had to live alone in a tower so as not to be seen except when they had thier rituals. She managed to escape with the help of a native. She finds employment with a wealthy family as the servant to the daughter. Angelique and Josette become friends as well. During this time Angelic falls in love with a soldier by the name of Barnabas Collins. He must leave to go to war and promises her he will be back for her. As time passes Josette announces her engagement. Angelique of course is happy for her until she finds out it is Barnabas. She goes on a rampage of casting spells on the family in hopes to win her love back. You'll have to read this book to find out if it works.
