Author Ciannon Smart has successfully soaked her Jamaican heritage into this debut novel, bathing her pages in the culture, patois and descriptions of that beautiful island. Witches Steeped In Gold isn’t actually set in Jamaica, mind you: this is a magic-filled fantasy world stuffed to the rafters with powerful women and narrated by two witches. Jazmyne is the daughter of a hateful dictator she’s desperate to see unthroned, while Iraya, who begins the book in jail, is the rightful heir to the kingdom. It’s not long before she escapes and embarks upon a mission of revenge, but will Jazmyne join her cause?
