Thrice Dead Witch

No job for a traveling mage is easy… Even if Beatrice Esterbrooke has done her fair share, something is different about this one. All is not well in the sleepy village of Coedwig, a place of old people and older ways, divided between those who’ve lived there since time immemorial, and the new comers who arrived less than a generation before. With children falling sick and others gone missing, suspicion hides around every corner, accusations behind every lip. But there’s something else going on, something deeper. The job seems easy enough, find the kids, catch the beast. But monsters are not all one and the same. Some come from deeper places, from forgotten times. Some monsters can’t be killed. The first standalone story in the wider Sylmanara universe, Thrice Dead Witch is a tale of small towns, old magic, and the true nature of monsters.
