"Tu eres ni amuleto eres mi talisman" is a Spanish phrase that translates to "You are not my amulet, you are my talisman" in English. The phrase holds significance in expressing the deep connection and importance someone has in one's life. Amulet and talisman both refer to objects believed to have protective or magical powers, but there is a subtle difference in their meaning. An amulet is typically worn or carried to ward off negative energy or evil. It acts as a protective charm, bringing good luck and keeping harm away. On the other hand, a talisman is believed to possess magical powers that bring good fortune, luck, and sometimes specific desired outcomes.
"This tale spans centuries and walks the line between good and the darker side of magic. Magic and those who possess it have been feared and persecuted throughout most of human history. Find out what it is like to live for hundreds of years, mostly in solitude, and have to struggle with having the power to help people, but being afraid to use that power." --Affaire de Coeur
A lyrical and spell-binding time travel fantasy featuring an immortal witch who must summon all her powers to defeat the evil hounding her through the centuries. The leader of these creatures, the Nameless One, has been trapped in the Abyss for ages after having been severely wounded by the sword Ascalon wielded by Galian Berethnet.
On the other hand, a talisman is believed to possess magical powers that bring good fortune, luck, and sometimes specific desired outcomes. It is used to enhance one's personal power or abilities. By stating "You are not my amulet, you are my talisman," the speaker is emphasizing that the person they are referring to brings more than just protection or good luck.
THE WITCH'S DAUGHTER
History, time travel and fantasy combine in a solidly readable entertainment.
A white witch is pursued across time by her nemesis, a sorcerer who may also have been Jack the Ripper.
Stretching her tale over several centuries, British-based Brackston brings energy as well as commercial savvy to her saga of innocence and the dark arts. Young Bess Hawksmith is a teenager in Wessex in 1627 when the Black Death arrives in her village, killing her father, brother and sister. Bess’s survival is a miracle which her mother, Anne, a healer and midwife, won’t discuss, although it involves local man Gideon Masters, to whom Bess turns for protection when Anne is arrested for witchcraft and sentenced to hang. But Gideon is a warlock with plans to initiate Bess and then join forces with her. She evades him but uses his magic to escape her own death sentence, then finds herself condemned to an eternity of making amends, with Gideon in pursuit. As a nurse in Victorian London she encounters Masters in two guises, one of whom Bess suspects of savagely murdering prostitutes in Whitechapel. In 1917, on the battlefields of World War I, Bess tends wounded soldiers and finds a man who loves and understands her, but Gideon intervenes again. A contemporary narrative shows Bess befriended by a teenager who becomes her pupil, assisting at the all-female confrontation with Gideon, a fight of elemental proportions.
