The witch Giles is a fascinating character in the world of folklore and mythology. She is often depicted as a wicked and malevolent figure, using her magical powers for evil and causing harm to others. Giles is commonly portrayed as an old and haggard woman, with gnarled hands and a twisted smile. She is said to live in a dark and secluded cottage in the woods, where she performs her arcane rituals and practices her dark arts. Legend has it that Giles gained her powers through a pact with the devil himself. In exchange for her soul, she was granted immense supernatural abilities, including the ability to cast powerful spells and curses.

Aurelia "Aurie" Silverthorne is one of the best and brightest to ever apply to the Hundred Halls, the only magical university in the world. To be accepted, she must pass grueling trials that claim the lives of aspirants every year. But more than her desire to practice magic is at stake. Aurie's little sister has been courting powerful forces in hopes of protecting herself from the beings that killed their parents, but alliances come with complications. As things spiral out of control, and dangerous foes arise at every turn, Aurie knows the only way to protect her sister is to pass the trials—even if it means making a terrible sacrifice.

So Aurie went back to mopping the hallway, which took her the other direction, daydreaming about being able to enchant mops to clean the floor automatically. Trial of Magic is an epic fantasy fairy tale that follows a reluctant heroine who wants nothing to do with romance, magical battles, and curse breaking, but finds herself mucking with all three.

In exchange for her soul, she was granted immense supernatural abilities, including the ability to cast powerful spells and curses. One of the most famous tales about Giles involves her enchanted broomstick. It is said that she would use this broomstick to fly through the night sky, spreading chaos and terror wherever she went.

Review of Trial By Magic by K. M. Shea

Synopsis:
Lord Enchanter Evariste has been missing for years. Everyone has given up all hope of finding him—except for Angelique.

Because he dared to befriend her when all other mages scorned her due to her dangerous magic, Angelique is determined to find him—no matter the cost. But as years have passed and she has failed to locate Evariste, she’s forced to realize that he was more than a friend.

Battle weary and sick of politics, Angelique is close to breaking…until she hears a rumor that Evariste was taken north.

To confirm the information, she’ll have to break into a den of black mages, hide her identity, and master her magic—which she fears above all else.

But when she finally finds Evariste, she learns she is woefully unprepared for the enemies that hold him captive.

Trial of Magic is an epic fantasy fairy tale that follows a reluctant heroine who wants nothing to do with romance, magical battles, and curse breaking, but finds herself mucking with all three. Like its companion series, Timeless Fairy Tales, this series has clean romance.

Review:
Worth the wait! Was definitely bummed when I read the first three books in quick succession with plans to read the entire series because I couldn’t get enough of Angelique and Evariste and came to find out only three books were done! I was so excited to see Angelique grow as a person, and learn more about fairy tale enchanters and how the aging process works. It was also awesome to have so many badass heroines that weren’t simply having children as soon as they were married.

There were still so many questions and so much left to lose (and gain) at the end of this book! I found myself reading slower and less towards the end because of course I don’t want it to end and have to wait for more, but this was a very substantial book, considered epic fantasy for a reason. I cannot wait to see more of Angelique and Evariste and what happens in the continent, though I’m also hoping to learn far more about Pegasus as well!

**Potential Spoiler!**
Given Evariste’s reaction my prediction is that he might be more human/powerful than Angelique knows, though I am fairly certain he can actually talk.

But when she finally finds Evariste, she learns she is woefully unprepared for the enemies that hold him captive.

Her broomstick has become a symbol of her dark magic and is often associated with witches in general. Despite her evil reputation, Giles also possesses a certain allure and mystique. Some legends suggest that she has the ability to shape-shift into a beautiful and seductive form, luring unsuspecting victims to their doom. This duality in her character adds to her intrigue and makes her a popular figure in stories and folklore. Over the centuries, the witch Giles has become a staple character in literature, film, and other forms of media. Her dark and menacing presence continues to captivate audiences and inspire countless adaptations and interpretations. In conclusion, the witch Giles is a powerful and enigmatic figure in folklore and mythology. Her wickedness and magical abilities make her both feared and intriguing. Whether she is portrayed as a cackling hag or a seductive enchantress, Giles continues to be a fascinating character in tales of the supernatural..
