When Amber Shadows searches the attic for information to finish a Magian school assignment, she finds two hidden journals filled with memoirs of her late, great, great grandmother, Lady Jocelyn. Amber is convinced after reading the memoirs that she is the chosen one to find her missing family and two priceless wands, regardless of the rumors about the Dark Magic Sorceress rising from the dead.  Her belief is confirmed on the night she turns fourteen, when an apparition leads her to a third secret hidden in the eldest cypress tree in the Wood. Determined to find her family, Amber sets off on her own when her two best mates abandon her. Against their better judgment, they decide to join her. The deadly adventure begins in the Bewitched Forest where vampire bats and owlsnakes threaten their lives. They find their way out of the Wood and enter a cave leading to an under-ground castle. Facing the most horrifying beasts of the deadliest nature, they tread upon the grounds of Dark Magic, where life-threatening events unfold. Marianna and Jasper are captured along with the dwarves they met when first entering the cave, and Amber is about to be ripped to shreds by sea-serpents when the apparition who chose her to keep the Legends, Spells, and Enchantment Book, appears to her and reveals a prophecy from heaven only Amber can fulfill.  Can Amber manage to protect her friends, family, and her own life while fulfilling the prophecy?

Amber Shadows and the Missing Wands is a magical fantasy adventure of dangerous secrets and horrifying Dark Magic mayhem, with a strong female protagonist and equally strong female antagonist that builds up to an intense, life-threatening end. It is a story of heartfelt emotion, dangerous adventure beyond the imagination, and determination.

 SPINETINGLERS REVIEW
 

 Immediately upon entering the pages of Amber Shadows and the Missing Wands, the reader is thrown into a mystical world that is far from the ordinary. Two secrets have remained hidden and protected within an antique trunk in the Shadows’ family attic. However, unbeknownst to the Shadows family, hidden within the eldest rings of wood just beyond their backyard, is a third secret. Amber Shadows, the youngest of three, discovers two of these secrets while searching the attic for information on an extraordinary witch or wizard relative. On the night of her fourteenth birthday, she is awakened by an apparition, who leads her to discover the third secret. Oblivious of the danger she is now in; Amber manages to convince her two best friends to join her on a quest. Terrifying events unfold as the three friends search through an underground castle for Amber’s parents and grandparents, and two wands with the greatest of magical powers. Amber and friends must find their way through conjured up illusions and escape life-threatening traps, defend themselves from deadly beasts, and manage to return home safe and sound with their friendship intact. But will they?
 

Amber Shadows and the Missing Wands gives a new twist in storytelling a popular genre. “If you are expecting to read a story about a medieval princess, forced to marry a Dark Magic wizard more than twice her age, or missionary knights setting off to fight and conquer a monstrous dragon guarding two stolen wands of power and glory, then you would be very much mistaken,” Willett says. “It’s not your traditional male character leading the adventure using magic; rather it is a story of a teenage female facing emotional distress where her missing family is concerned, and life-threatening situations using White Magic to survive.” Amber Shadows and the Missing Wands is the first in a series of four novels featuring the spunky heroine, and it is certain to be one of this year’s best sellers, and a welcome addition to libraries or home bookshelves around the world.
