The Jericho Effect

Crystal’s apprenticeship is cut short when she is chosen by the wizard council of Rovinien to hunt down and subdue a dangerous warlock named Wikeon. Wikeon, a thief raised by werewolves, flees his home country after using black magic to murder a man in defense of a werewolf friend. When Crystal realizes that Wikeon is more than a ruthless killer, she finds herself falling in love with him, causing her to betray the council and assist in his escape. As enemy wizards close in on them, they turn to Wikeon’s werewolf family for protection. Far from providing security, an alliance with the pack pits them against new enemies, setting them on a downward spiral toward their own destruction and forcing Crystal into a desperate struggle to find redemption for them all. The Jericho Effect made the quarterfinals of the Young Adult division of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award in 2010.
