Bitter Night is the first in a dark, glittering new urban fantasy series about a headstrong woman who is enslaved to a witch as her finest warrior and who must embrace her enslavement if she is to save humanity.
SOMETIMES YOU CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES. AND SOMETIMES, THEY CHOOSE YOU...
Once, Max dreamed of a career, a home, a loving family. Now all she wants is freedom...and revenge. A witch named Giselle transformed Max into a warrior with extraordinary strength, speed, and endurance. Bound by spellcraft, Max has no choice but to fight as Giselle's personal magic weapon -- a Shadowblade -- and she's lethally good at it. But her skills are about to be put to the test as they never have before....The ancient Guardians of the earth are preparing to unleash widespread destruction on the mortal world, and they want the witches to help them. If the witches refuse, their covens will be destroyed, including Horngate, the place Max has grudgingly come to think of as home. Max thinks she can find a way to help Horngate stand against the Guardians, but doing so will mean forging dangerous alliances -- including one with a rival witch's Shadowblade, who is as drawn to Max as she is to him -- and standing with the witch she despises. Max will have to choose between the old life she still dreams of and the warrior she has become, and take her place on the side of right -- if she survives long enough to figure out which side that is....

Since I am and have been a practicing witch for 45 of my 60 years in this incarnation that's a tough question because I don't remember my first spell. I might guess and say it was a prosperity/money spell as I was very poor, quite young and pretty much on my own.

The first spell I would cast is a me, twenty pounds lighter! walkermisc@primus.ca

If I could cast any spell it would possibly be a charm to dispell bad luck and good fortune to give to all of my friends.
