Immisceo Taken — Shona Clingham

The Immisceo Series

Book One

In the world of Nosiras, power comes in many forms, but magic reigns supreme. The land is divided between the ruthless Mimic, Amara, and her Outcasts, who steal magic and lives, and the Duciti, who strive for absolute control.

Luciana, a strong and independent witch, is chosen by the Duciti to conceive an Immisceo child, a mixed-blood witch, a witch they intend to wield as a weapon against Amara and her Outcasts. Luciana’s freedom hangs in the balance and she is forced to comply — but when her son is taken, she will stop at nothing to get him back.

Nathaniel, born into poverty and raised by an overprotective brother, seeks freedom above all else. When Luciana crosses his path, their goals align just barely enough to unite and together, they navigate the dangerous terrain of a brewing war across Nosiras, fighting to save Luciana’s son and for freedom, where those with power control the fate of all, and the cost of power is always too high.

Luciana stared into the eyes of her petrified mother and weighed her options. That was when it dawned on her— There were none. Her options were nothing more than illusions. There would be no running, she realised. Only dancing. And the Duciti were the ones pulling the strings. Immisceo Taken Shona Clingham
