Erich, Ariel and Astrid have begun their life together, but all is not well.
Ariel and Astrid have discovered that sharing a husband is a greater challenge than they anticipated, a challenge that is exacerbated by a difficult winter trip to Wittenberg, where Erich hopes to enter the service of Frederick III, Elector of Sachsen. But their trip is soon interrupted by unexpected complications.
In the town of Marburg, a century-old agreement that has kept the peace between the Landgraviate of Hessen and a band of witches in the forest is beginning to unravel. The young Landgrave, Philip, needs to consolidate his authority, and the witches want something from him that he does not dare surrender.
Erich and his wives are drawn into this conflict, and in the process discover a mystery that seems tied to their unique magical bond—a mystery that may threaten its very existence if they cannot resolve it.
In this second installment in the bestselling Twin Magic series, Michael Dalton spins together magic, steampunk, and traditional German fairy tales into another entertaining alternate history adventure

Erich, Ariel, and Astrid has begun their life together as husband and wives. Erich is one lucky man to have such beautiful women and skilled mages as his wives. A few problems came up between Ariel and Astrid, Astrid not wanting to always make love to her husband sometimes she just wants to cuddle and be happy. But Ariel loves making love to her husband and tries to do it as often as she can. They all decided to go on a trip and seek employment in a village far away from their own and they want to make it there before winter and snow comes. Welp, they got held up in the town of Marburg, because Ariel kinda went haywire. They passed through a forest with a place full of the flow and Ariel decided to touch the spring that was there. Everything changed about her, and Erich and Astrid didn't know what was up with her.
In Marburg there is a tale of a Witches Covenant taking children from their homes and replacing them with changelings. But Louis decided to strike a deal with these witches and keep the town from having all their babies taken. The witches are allowed to pick out one baby every 10 years, and this deal has been passed down for generations. But now Phillip thinks he can outsmart the witches and give them the wrong baby and all hell breaks loose.
The main characters are still Erich, Ariel, and Astrid, but a few more are in the picture to move the story along. Sabine, Hans, Giancarlo, Julia, and Phillip. Sabine is the so called witch taking babies because of what she done years ago. She loved Louis and wanted to marry him but he was to busy and cared more for his land then her, so she decided to take matters in her own hands and that is how the Witches Covenant came to be. Sabine isn't bad, she isn't mean either, she just wants to be free. Hans decided to go on a adventure with Giancarlo, he is sweet and caring. Giancarlo wanted to apologize to Erich, Ariel, and Astrid for turning them in to Erich's brother. Then you have sweet Julia, she didn't mean for what happen to her, but Phillip is her lord and she just wanted to make him happy. Phillip is selfish and doesn't care for anyone but himself really.
I enjoyed this book as much as I did the first book. The only thing that caught me off guard was the ending. The ending was so short and simple, I wanted to know if their father and his friend would find them and tell them the news. But I will have to wait for the third book I guess!
