Odette knows how witch hunters work. They keep their bonfires hidden until victims cannot escape. She learned this when hunters executed her family years ago. She survived by miracle and now lives alone in the woods. She abandoned magic, seeking peace and quiet instead. No witch gets to live peacefully. Dead birds drop around Odette wherever she walks. Ghostly voices ride the wind to torment her. Strange children follow her through the trees. She blacks out without warning and wakes in the cemetery with no memory of getting there. Odette wants to forget magic completely. Her magic refuses to forget her. The power she rejected pulls her back into a world she tried to leave behind. She must face the supernatural forces that claim her, even as witch hunters still threaten anyone who practices the old ways.
