The Secret Witch of Kriegspiel
by S.L. Prater
A friendship that ends in betrayal and a forced marriage but maybe there is more to this story... Hannah “Ana” is a witch and in a world where witches are reviled and are forced into marriages with priest she wants nothing more than to get out of her arranged marriage so she does what any person would, she begins writing letters to the priest she is supposed to be married and pleads with him to call it off. To her surprise he also does not want the marriage that their parents are forcing upon them, and so their letters begin to turn into something more, into genuine friendship... until on the day of the wedding when Anna believed that David would save her by calling off the wedding he commits the ultimate betrayal and goes through with it. Now she is forced to be his wife, live in his house, follow his rules, he controls her money and everything else. She is still reeling from this betrayal and the only thing she wants now is to be able to get her educational degree and become a professor but the school she wants, where David teaches, is known for it’s deep prejudice and mistreatment of witches. Though Anna has been fighting with David for all these months they strike a bargain, if she is willing to share a bed with him and at least become friends again he will let her go to school. With both of their magics constantly being attracted to each other but their complicated past building a wall between them. their relationship is about to get complicated. What Hannah doesn’t know is that David is deeply in love with her and is willing to do anything to prove to her that he loves her and that he will do anything to make up for what he’s done. The true question is, will Anna be able to forgive David for what he’s done and the hurt he has caused or will it be too much and their relationship will never grow? While I did come to like the characters I just felt so bad for Hannah and the situation that David put her in. She begged him, she befriended him, and he betrayed her and forced her into a situation in which she had no control over anything and forced her into a marriage in which he controlled everything. Yes he did it for love and he had another reason, but it just didn’t sit right with me on how Anna had to offer things to him in order to even get what she wanted. It did work out in the end and they do truly love each other now but like I said, it definitely was a rough start and I definitely felt more remorse for Hannah.
