The story begins not with a birth, but with a rebirth, shrouded in mystery and fire. We are introduced to Merona, a witch whose very essence has been reforged from the tragic fires of Copenhagen in the year 1500. Yet, her emergence into this new existence is even more astonishing: she awakens on the mystical night of Samhain, under a celestial moon, in the distant year 478 CE, in the heart of Ancient Gaul. This incredible temporal displacement immediately sets the stage for a narrative unbound by conventional history.


Merona's presence in 5th-century Gaul is no accident. She is destined by prophecy and ancient magic to confront a looming evil, a malevolent force threatening to engulf humanity in shadows. Her legend, as foretold by the stars themselves, is to be forged within the perilous "Labyrinth of Shadows," a metaphorical and possibly literal journey through peril and self-discovery. Intriguingly, her life is not just a fantastical arc; it parallels that of Clovis I, the future unifier of the Franks, hinting at a deep historical connection that will undoubtedly enrich Merona's magical quest.


But Merona will not face the encroaching darkness alone. Her destiny is intertwined with two extraordinary companions, each formidable in their own right. First, there is Murdach, the shapeshifting dragon, a creature of immense power and ancient wisdom, whose forms and loyalties will be tested. And second, the enigmatic and powerful Goddess Morrigan, a deity known for her association with war, fate, and death, who manifests in various awe-inspiring forms: as a fierce red wolf, a wise black raven, or as a stunning goddess with long flowing hair and piercing blue eyes. Together, this unlikely trio will fight the darkness that threatens the very fabric of the land of Gaul, a time truly steeped in myth and legend.


Michaela Riley invites readers to step into the labyrinth alongside Merona and her companions. Witness their journey as they navigate betrayal, danger, and the formidable forces of evil. More than just a battle for survival, "Labyrinth of Shadows: The Witch's Rebirth Part I" explores the profound and unforgettable bond that grows between a witch, a dragon, and a goddess as they strive to protect a world teetering on the brink.

If you crave a rich tapestry of historical fantasy woven with ancient magic, epic battles, and characters whose destinies are written in the stars, then "Labyrinth of Shadows: The Witch's Rebirth Part I" is your next unforgettable read. Discover Merona's legend and witness the dawn of a new era, born from fire and forged in shadow.
