Sorcery's Dark Embrace: Witches, Shifters, And The Broken Beyond—A Dark Fantasy by Jupiter Rose

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Claire is young, unprotected, and alone. The world she lives in is hostile, joyless, and dark. It seems that Claire’s best chance is focusing on survival. And even then, she might not be lucky. Like those hanging on the wall, demonstrating the power of the nobles and the futility of anyone wishing to fight against their rule.

Claire knows her limitations and thus lies low.

Until she discovers her true power.

Claire learns that she has more life baggage than she’s been made to believe, that she is capable of protecting not only herself but those around her, and that she doesn’t have to fight her battles alone. Yet, the question remains if Claire is powerful enough to save entire worlds. On the road of discovering secrets from her past and the extent of her magic, Claire also learns that the world she’d considered her home isn’t such. Moreover, other worlds exist beyond the one she knows. Overwhelmed but not discouraged by the array of astounding discoveries, Claire embarks on a mission of saving the worlds, one by one. But can she succeed?

Having been used to standing alone against the merciless world, Claire finds herself among people who seem to treat her as a friend and share her goals. She even falls in love. After the dark times that have been her life, it feels like a miracle, unreal. But maybe it all indeed is only a mirage? When people start betraying her, Claire doesn’t know what to believe in or whom to trust.

There are battles where the parties’ powers are unequal. There are tasks which seem unequal to any creature’s potential. The author takes readers on a journey where surprises and revelations await at every turn.

“Sorcery’s Dark Embrace” by Jupiter Rose is full of magic, dark secrets, unexpected twists, and tension. The characters are flawed, some craving redemption, while the minds of others are set solely on destruction. Every victory is only a step in what seems a never-ending quest. And amidst the chaos, Claire has to fight the main battle. Fierce to the enemies, loyal to her friends, she must find a way to make her darkness bring the light.
