Rune of the Witch

Everyone wants to be normal – but no one wants to be ordinary. 

When my most hated enemy, Bastion, comes to me for help, I tell him to take a long walk off a short pier. I’m not helping the griffin assassin that killed my lover. But when the Crone visits my coven, she tells me that I must help him find his daughter or I won’t achieve my full potential.

I want greatness like others want wealth. You can keep your fame and fortune, I want to make sure my life matters. I reluctantly agree to help locate the missing griffin. If greatness is on the cards, I’m willing to play – no matter who deals my hand.

When a raven with broken wings lands on my balcony, I know that a black witch has entered the game. Finding the griffin suddenly becomes a lot more complicated. I’ll have to awaken my sentient grimoire to help me find the answers I seek – and that always has a price.

Only time will tell whether it is one that I can afford to pay.
