Death. That was the omen that the crows and ravens brought to Inkeri, a half-Fae wielder of the elemental power of Water.
Deep in the desert Idros Ahdreide, men had lost their lives in battle against a strange evil. When Inkeri ventures to investigate, she encounters Baron Rhodren of the Bois Argent and his troop of men.
Rhodren's king commanded him to investigate the disappearances of two troops and a caravan at the desert citadel of Saet'Idros Archais.
Yet a presence watches their entry into the citadel, a presence more terrible than twisted sorcerers, their shape-shifting wyre, and a traitorous Dark Fae.
Both Inkeri and Rhodren sense the watcher, but neither anticipates the dire threat it represents.
How many will die before the missing are found?

The fantasy Spells of Water is a three-part series in the greater cycle of the Fae Mark'd World.
If you enjoy elemental power battling twisted sorcery and cold steel clearing paths through magical monsters, then you will love the adventures in the Fae Mark'd World.
Writer Remi Black has created magical worlds from the time she read a much-battered paperback in the Witch World saga by Andre Norton, the Grand Mistress of Fantasy. She writes determined heroines and strong heroes, both with internal conflicts as dire as the sorcerers and monsters that confront them.
The first trilogy in the Fae Mark'd World is Spells of Air. The young wizard Orielle encounters the proud Dark Fae Lord Skull and Lady Bone as well as a pack of shifted wyre enslaved by a sorceress.
Spells of Earth, the second trilogy, focuses on Desora, wizardry burnt out and memory gone after a battle against sorcerers. Desora re-built her life in an isolated corner of the Northern Reaches. She only wields elemental Earth. Can she discover new ways to wield Earth before she and Brax become prey for twisted sorcery and magical monsters?
Look for more of Remi Black's fantasy with magical protagonists confronting foul sorcery and monsters magical and mundane.
