Capricious and temperamental creatures, witches have existed alongside the sentient races for eons, feeding off children to fuel their unholy powers. Possessing foul hearts and little regard for the lives of those deemed beneath them, they have the power to destroy entire towns on a whim. Callum of Moorturf is one of the few who have made it his life’s mission to hunt down and kill as many of these foul creatures as he can. When witch's lives are declared protected by royal decree, Callum knows something is amiss. When he digs deeper, he quickly finds himself embroiled in a plot that threatens the very foundations of a kingdom.
