This is a most entertaining read. Love the fantasy, the magic and the characters involved in this novel. Taking place in 1876 in Sierra Nevada, Emily Edwards, the town witch, is disturbed by the mail-order patent magic sales that cut into her own business. Poor and struggling, she conjures a love spell on a wealthy lumberman so that her Pap and herself will have a better life. However, a haughty, rather unlikable warlock named Dreadnought Stanton asks her help in a mining incident where the zombie workers have gone berserk because a strange stone has been unearthed. When Emily picks it up it melds into her hand and her adventures begin. Everyone seems to want the stone. Emily only wants it removed so her life can return to normal. Dreadnought believes he can help so the two set off on a strange adventure to find those who can help remove the strone from her hand. Pursued by evil warlocks, they seek Professor Mirabilis who Dreadnought believes can help her. It's pure adventure, excitement, romance and more.
