Summary: The Witchblade brings Sarah to Cascade, and into the lives of a Sentinel and his Guide. All Sara wanted was to start over, but Cascade's no ordinary city. Can she and Jim solve a series of murders before it's too late?
Reccer's Notes: I'm a big fan of the Sentinel, but barely remember Witchblade; however, this series tugged at my curiosity. I was blown away by how well the author made these two fandoms intersect, and how well Sara fits with Jim and Blair. As I suspected, for someone who has very little knowledge of the Witchblade universe, this was a perfect introduction to Sara and the Witchblade. As Jim and Blair get to know Sara, the reader does, too; we learn what the blade does and how it affects Sara -- and, through her, Jim and Blair. As the series progresses, the three grow closer; Sara learns that she can depend on Jim and Blair, and they learn how to temper the 'blade's worst effects on Sara. Each story is a solid case fic, requiring sentinel and guide and witchblade and wielder to resolve.
Content Notes: Canon-typical violence and injury to victims.
