![]() ![]() Peregrine and Saturday become allies as they try to prevent the witch from destroying the world. The mountain that Saturday is taken to is home to Peregrine, a young man who has been held captive inside the mountain by an evil witch for many years. As you may already be realizing, a lot happens in this story, with the most fast paced action occurring at the beginning and toward the end. Her sister Thursday, a Pirate (!) promptly arrives, but no sooner has Saturday sailed away with Thursday than she whisked away from the ship in the claws of a giant bird and taken to a mountain. ![]() When Saturday’s foster brother, Trix, runs away, Saturday breaks a magic mirror and accidentally causes an ocean to form outside her door. Enchanted introduced a fairy tale world in which seven sisters each have a magical talent, with the exception of Saturday, who believes that she has no talent but who does have a magical sword. Hero is being billed as a “Companion” to Enchanted, and the description suits, because it works just fine as a stand-alone even though it follows the events of Enchanted closely. It’s a solid, inventive, action-packed fantasy with a great romance built in. Now the second book in the series, Hero, has been released.
