I understand this author's audience is young adults.  However, even though I read many great, meaningful YA books, this one is not one I can recommend.  Magdaline is a 16-year old daughter of a dark witch, who will be destined to follow in her mother's dark path.  A boy she has met from the "Warrior Clan," Samuel, appears to love her, and she has hope that she can love him also.  However, her mother tells her there will not be love in her life, only blood, and that blood and love do not mix.  Magdalina is doomed to live a life alone once her mother reveals the "Legend of the Dreamer" in two nights time.  This short introductory to "Legend of the Dreamer" novel is written in a poetic, musical style.  It can be very dark.  I chose not to even finish reading this short story.  The taste of blood does not appeal to me.
