Description
Making a place for yourself in a world where you don’t belong takes courage. So does moving in with a warlock. Especially one who is a cauldron of seething anger on his worst days … half mad on his best … who is thinking, perhaps, of killing you. And you can almost understand why he would do it. But you’ll fight to stay alive. Because maybe—just maybe—you’ve found the place where you belong: On his world, in his magic, saving the warlock from himself.
Waterspell, in four books, tells the story of the lost traveler Carin, who is drawn into the schemes of a hot-tempered, emotionally damaged wizard. Does he view her as nothing more than an expendable weapon in his fight to save his world from lethal alien plagues? Or will Lord Verek find himself wavering, when it comes time to dispose of his fiery water-sylph?

Advance Praise
"I devoured it ... literally consumed by the originality and depth Deborah brings to her characters. She provides a strong balance between action, adventure, fantasy, and romance and Carin's combination of pride and vulnerability make her a fabulous character! Quite frankly, I am just astounded by the emotions this book stirred in me. It is simply extraordinary." —Lady Vigilante
"An extremely well written fantasy story ... flows well with a very readable style that holds your interest throughout. The world building is solid and intriguing, the magical aspects well drawn and versatile and characterisation is energetic so that you are immediately invested in their future. All in all a marvellous addition to the fantasy genre and I would recommend it for lovers of magical mystical tales." —Liz Wilkins
“In this four-book saga, the author has created an epic fantasy world full of magic, danger, romance, and travel through time and space. The characters are vivid and complex, including a young woman on a hero’s quest, and a powerful warlock who isn’t sure whether to kill her or embrace her. This is a most enjoyable read for fans of fantasy and fine writing.” —Shirley, NetGalley
“I loved that this story was so completely unpredictable. It’s one that I’d find hard to forget.” —Ali’s Books
Marketing Plan
Waterspell springs from the realm of epic fantasy (with an environmental fantasy twist). It's got ancient and mysterious magic, a passage from one world to the otherworld, a (reluctant) Chosen One, a Hero/Heroine's Quest, and a search for belonging and redemption. It's a portal fantasy with complex characters and the gothic sensibilities of Jane Eyre. There's mystery, murder, and a little slow-burning, unconventional romance. Think "Jane Eyre meets a sorcerer."

Rubie C, Reviewer
Waterspell Series book 1-4 by Deborah J. Lightfoot was an exciting action packed adventure.
I really enjoyed this new to me fantasy/romance story.
I thought it was very well written and the characters were so entertaining and intriguing.
I’m excited for book 5 The Karenina Chronicles.
I would like to thank NetGalley and Seven Rivers Publishing, Victory Editing for the opportunity to read this ahead of its publication date in return for my honest review.
