Red Witch

What if the fairy tales you know are not separate stories, but all a part of one?

MAGIC-BORNS. MORTALS. 100 YEARS OF BLOODSHED.

Red is a witch gifted with the ability to read hearts, to see beyond the organ to the soul that lies within. For the past five years, she's been trying to survive her forced apprenticeship to the Novem, an army of merciless magic-borns.

When an act of kindness and unexpected magic sees a dead witch's final possession in her hands, Red's secret dream of escape is finally realised. However, her freedom comes with a cost. One that will leave her vulnerable and exposed in a land where being a witch means either slavery or death.

Jack is a mortal thief with a knack for impossible jobs. For the past three years, an inherited debt has forced him to risk his life stealing magical artefacts for the black markets of the Unified Kingdoms, an alliance of mortal nations against magic.

When a job lands him in the Palace of Admira, ruled by the Novem, and a powerful artefact in his grasp, Jack may finally be able to pay back his debt. However, his theft comes with a snag. One that will leave him questioning all that he knew and set in motion events he could've never imagined.

The Seer is a rewriter of fate. For decades, an ancient evil has been growing in the shadows. When an unexpected encounter offers a chance at salvation, the Seer can finally bring their carefully planned story to life. However, going against fate comes with a price. One that will force Red and Jack to partake in a destiny that neither of them asked for.
