Nora Roberts' Dark Witch trilogy is a captivating series of books that combines fantasy, romance, and magic. The trilogy consists of three novels: Dark Witch, Shadow Spell, and Blood Magick. In Dark Witch, the first book of the series, we are introduced to Iona Sheehan, a young woman who travels from America to Ireland in search of her roots. Upon arriving in Ireland, she discovers her heritage as a Dark Witch and learns that she is destined to play a crucial role in an age-old battle between good and evil. Along the way, she forms deep connections with the other characters, particularly Boyle McGrath, a stable owner, and his family. Shadow Spell, the second book, continues the story of Iona and her friends as they face new challenges and deepen their bonds.
So with the Witch on the stool who sat on the
broom,
Shadow Spell, the second book, continues the story of Iona and her friends as they face new challenges and deepen their bonds. The focus shifts to the character Connor O'Dwyer, who, like Iona, possesses magical abilities. Together, they must confront their shared enemy and protect their loved ones.
The Broom that Lost its Vroom
For William, Beckett & Mary Ella
Don’t ever lose your vroom for life.
The Witch looked up with excitement as the
leaves began to fall.
“Halloween is coming! The children will soon
come to call.”
The Witch then smiled as she
peered into her broth.
Saying, “Come now Broom, lets
dust you off.”
The Witch opened the door and looked
to the sky.
“Come on broom lets go for a fly!”
But the Broom was not there.
Where could it be?
“Come now Broom, you can’t hide from me!”
The Witch used her magic to open the
pantry.
Saying, “ Come now Broom, don’t look
so un-happy.”
The Broom came out slowly in a slump.
While the Witch said, “Broom, no need to be a grump.”
The Witch took her seat ready to take off.
But the broom did not move, it only gave a cough.
“Oh no,” said the Witch.
“How could this be?”
“My Broom has lost its
vroom! Where could it
be?”
The Witch walked inside to find what
was lost.
While the broom shook in fear at
the thought of being tossed.
“Don’t be scared,” said the
Witch. “ You are my broom.”
“We will work together to
find your lost vroom.”
The two stood thinking and looking within.
When the clock on the wall started to spin.
Just look at those hands up on the clocks face.
Spinning and pointing towards a particular place.
“Come now Broom we will head to the den.”
Where the witch and the broom found the
stool at one end.
It surprised them to find the stool not on the
ground
But up near the ceiling, floating upside down.
The stool looked so happy bouncing around in the air.
While the broom shook and wept as if to say, “That is
not fair.”
The Witch gave a laugh and said,
“Come down from up there.”
“You silly little stool, you gave us a
scare!”
Now back on the ground the stool
stood with a smile.
As he returned the vroom that he had used for a
little while.
The broom once again happy ,
jumped towards the door.
But looked back at the stool who
stared down at the floor.
Broom nodded and waved to the sky.
“Come with us,” said Witch. No need
to be shy.”
So with the Witch on the stool who sat on the
broom,
They took to the sky in the light of the moon.
All laughing and cheering as they
flew out of sight.
For the broom found his vroom for
Halloween night.
While the broom shook and wept as if to say, “That is
not fair.”
