Hawkweed Prophecy and Hawkweed Legacy by Irena Brignull
Thanks to Tanya Farrell of Wunderkind PR, I am giving away one print copy of Hawkweed Prophecy and Hawkweed Legacy by Irena Brignull.
THE HAWKWEED PROPHECY is the stunning debut novel that tells a bewitching story: two girls, one ancient prophecy. Only one can be queen of the witches. Poppy Hooper and Ember Hawkweed couldn’t lead more different lives. Poppy is a troubled teen: moving from school to school, causing chaos wherever she goes, never making friends or lasting connections. Ember is a young witch, struggling to find a place within her coven and prove her worth. Both are outsiders: feeling like they don’t belong and seeking escape.
Poppy and Ember soon become friends, and secretly share knowledge of their two worlds. Little do they know that destiny has brought them together: an ancient prophecy, and a life-changing betrayal. Growing closer, they begin to understand why they’ve never belonged and the reason they are now forever connected to each other. Enter Leo, a homeless boy with a painful past who – befriending them both – tests their love and loyalty. Can Poppy and Ember’s friendship survive? And can it withstand the dark forces that are gathering?
Description of Hawkweed Legacy by Irena Brignull
THE HAWKWEED LEGACY begins after two girls, Poppy Hooper and Ember Hawkweed, discover they were switched at birth because of a centuries old-prophecy that destined one of them to be Queen of the witches. Stunned by their findings, Poppy finds comfort with a boy and his great-grandmother in Africa while Ember settles into a new non-coven life with Leo, the boy that is bound to both of them in ways neither of them can yet understand.
When both the young women, Leo and the throne are threatened, they must choose between love and destiny as everything they know and cherish may be destroyed.
