Betrayal, deceit, friendship and love, in this first novel set in the fascinating universe of War of the Witches.
A prequel to the acclaimed fantasy trilogy.
Since time immemorial, the clans of the Omar witches have lived in hiding from the bloodthirsty Odish witches.
Demeter, the Amorgos oracle child, is unaware of the extent of her magic powers until her fame attracts the curiosity of Ate, one of the strongest Odish witches. From that moment, the hate against witchery and women, always latent in villages, flares up on the small Greek island and destroys her childhood.
Despite Ate, the island superstitions and her own clan, young Demeter refuses to obey the dictates of terror. Her recklessness lightens up the legend of the silver wolf, a hope for rebellious Omar witches.
Since immemorial times, the Omar witches clan’s have been living hidden from the terrible Odish and looking forward to the arrival of the prophecy chosen one. Now the stars confirm the time is near.
Anaíd, who has lived her fourteen years old away in a lost village in the Pyrenees, is unaware of the secrets concerning the women of her family… Until the mysterious disappearance of her mother, Selene the red-haired, brings her face to face with a truth as chilling as unbelievable, and forces her to travel a long road full of dangers and discoveries.
The Prophecy of O
And one day the Chosen One, child of Om, shall arrive.
With her fiery hair, scaly skin and the wings outspread,
she’ll have a howl in her throat and a glint of Death in her eyes.
She shall ride upon the sun brandishing the moon on high.
And the cruel, fierce war will begin:
The War of the Witches.

The prophecy has come true and the clans of the Omar witches hope that Anaid, the chosen one with the hair of fire who holds the sceptre of power, puts an end to the bloody Odish witches. But Anaid is just 15 years old, in love and more vulnerable than ever to the dangers hounding her, which force her to flee with her mother.
Throughout this desperate journey, Anaid will disentangle the dark legend woven about Selene during her wild and rebellious youth, and she will learn about her background: forged in the hardness of ice, daughter of the snow, sister of the bear.
The war of the witches is drawing near and the chosen one can no longer postpone the moment to wield the sceptre and destroy the terrifying Odish. But Anaíd, who yearns for Roc’s love, as well as the love of the father she never had, believes she can finally bring peace to the Omars witches. Yet she will have to face betrayal, rejection by her own people and loneliness.
Odi’s curse has been fulfilled: the Chosen one has made mistakes, she has succumbed to the power of the sceptre and even dead claim their tribute.
It is the moment of the truth, of the definitive battle between Omar and Odish.

WHAT THE PRESS HAS SAID ABOUT THE TRILOGY WAR OF THE WITCHES:
The War of the Witches trilogy is an ambitious intelligent and surprising work.
EL PAÍS
War of the Witches has a strong innovative character in the panorama of juvenile literature.
LA VANGUARDIA
Anaíd’s story, full of legend and epic struggles, finds real strength in her experiences and distinctively modern voice. (…) Rich, sophisticated language leaves readers spellbound; a relentless plot will have them panting during Anaíd’s first tremulous steps into the dark world
KIRKUS REVIEWS (USA)
A powerful, addictive and spectacular trilogy that you will fondly remember.
I was fascinated by the story and the setting of the books, as well as the growth of the characters. A very highly recommended saga for fantasy lovers, regardless of their age.
Sandra G.
I devoured them.
The story of Selene is a gem: gritty and harsh yet also fantastical and moving.
