After being sentenced to a purgatorial world known as Bajenie, for the crime of falling in love with a sworn enemy's daughter, Sebastian Radu is finally allowed to return home to Twin Magnolias.... Filled with the hope of somehow reuniting with his beloved Daciana Matei, Sebastian soon discovers that what he assumed was merely a two-month incarceration has turned out to be fourteen months. It's now September the following year... and much has changed in Denmark, Tennessee, as well as throughout the world. Especially, in the realm of practitioners of magic. A tenuous truce has been hammered out between the local Radus and Mateis, and overseen by the EEC (European Elders Council) along with their extended families throughout the Earth. In addition, EEC 'constables' have been assigned to Denmark, in order to ensure both families comply with the treaty's terms. But the wild cards are 'Bas' and 'Daci', who must remain permanently separated for the fragile peace to be finalized. At present, Sebastian is restricted to his local neighborhood in Denmark, while Daciana is kept under lock and key in an ancient castle, just outside Bucharest, Romania-more than five thousand miles away. Worse, she is set to wed a Romanian noble who happens to be the descendant of one of the world's most powerful wizards. Sadly, it appears Sebastian is left only with the option of trying to move on with his life. But you know what they say about the power of true love.... Amid challenges of navigating a pandemic that has gripped the world of mortals, Bas is drawn to the encouragement from a mysterious benefactor offering a path to attain his heart's desire. But at what cost? Caught between forces and factions bearing down upon him from all directions, the worrisome possibility of being thrown back into a far lengthier prison sentence increases with each perilous decision Sebastian is faced with. Loyalty to family and the greater good versus devotion to one's heart can bring dire consequences.... Consequences that await resolution in Witch out of Water.
