Mercedes Lackey's magical Elemental Masters series recasts familiar fairy tales in a richly-imagined alternate Victorian world

For seventeen years, Marina Roeswood had lived in an old, rambling farmhouse in rural Cornwall in the care of close friends of her wealthy, aristocratic parents. As the ward of bohemian artists in Victorian England, she had grown to be a free thinker in an environment of fertile creativity and cultural sophistication. But the real core of her education was far outside societal norms. For she and her foster parents were Elemental Masters of magic, and learning to control her growing powers was Marina’s primary focus.

But though Marina’s life seemed idyllic, her existence was riddled with mysteries. Why, for example, had she never seen her parents, or been to Oakhurst, her family’s ancestral manor? And why hadn’t her real parents, also Elemental Masters, trained her themselves? That there was a secret about all this she had known from the time she had begun to question the world around her. Yet try as she might, she could get no clues out of her guardians.

But Marina would have answers to her questions all too soon. For with the sudden death of her birth parents, Marina met her new guardian—her father’s eldest sister Arachne. Aunt Arachne exuded a dark magical aura unlike anything Marina had encountered, a stifling evil that seemed to threaten Marina’s very spirit.

Slowly Marina realized that her aunt was the embodiment of the danger her parents had been hiding her from in the backwoods of Cornwall. But could Marina unravel the secrets of her life in time to save herself from the evil that had been seeking her for nearly eighteen years?

Great Everyday Cleanser
One of the best affordable cleansers i’ve ever bought— as someone who’s struggled with hormonal acne for 5 years. Being into skincare for this long, it was hard to find cleansers that were clarifying and effective. Not only have I repurchased this item 4x already, but my family loves it as well. The ingredients are great and the price is amazing for the size. It leaves a good finish on my skin, helping myself feel more clean. The gel consistency is great as someone who’s struggled with both oily and dry skin— it’s been a perfect medium in times of accutane (where my skin was extremely dry) and when oily skin. This doesn’t dry out the skin at all, making it a good option. No significant smell or fragrance— overall the perfect option if you’re looking for a median cleanser.

Helped Clear My Skin Fast
This cleanser really surprised me. The 2% salicylic acid works well without drying my skin out. My breakouts started calming down after a few days, and the redness around my chin went down a lot. It feels gentle but still effective.

Best product and brand for my sensitive skin
Works great… this brand is great for acne, white head, dark head and all types of skin condition. I love all their products. This product in particular doesn’t make my skin dry or irritated. Eventho my skin is very sensitive to most products I haven’t had any skin issue with any of their products.

okay so far...
I was wondering how my skin would react from this since I've been the cerave SA cleanser for a while now and didn't notice any dryness whatsoever with that. But, I've always wondered the strength or percentage of SA in the cerave (which is impossible to find out I guess...) I'm guessing it's less than 2% so I wanted to try out a cleanser with a higher % to see if there was a different. After a few days I did notice some dryness, which I suppose could be due to wintertime, but I think it's the cleanser. Not surprising, I was bracing myself for dry skin. I will probably take a break until my skin returns to normal and reintroduce this to a few times a week or something, or I may save it for the humid summers. Other than that, I like the formula, it has a very subtle scent I don't mind at all.

Smooth and oil free skin
At first I was scepticle, losing hope that anything would help my oily acne prone skin. But then I ordered this, and it's magic. Now my skin is smooth, balanced, and the acne is slowly going away. Best thing of all, no more oily skin! Will be ordering again!
