“…Amazingly written, emotionally driven, and fantasy-fueled… Water Sight is a must-read for fans of the historical fiction/fantasy genres …” – Anthony Avina

Catrin can see the future in a drop of water.
Her brother Hyw can shift into any bird or animal.
Catrin’s gift may be the only hope of finding three relics to rally the flagging Welsh forces—if she can outwit the English lord who wants to use her gift to capture the prince.
Hyw is on the run with the prince and the dwindling Welsh army. To escape betrayal, Hyw takes refuge in his evolving gift—until it puts his humanity in jeopardy.
With Hyw trapped in his magic and her betrothed in an English prison, Catrin faces an impossible choice: save her brother or save the one she loves.
Last of the Gifted omnibus edition contains the complete duology, combining Spirit Sight (Book 1) and Water Sight (Book 2). Hyw and Catrin pit their magical gifts against the ruthless English army, with help from the last true Prince of Wales—after his murder!
