"I only know of true love because of the witch."
Ceciline lives to serve her Mistress—the wise, warm, and mysterious witch who raised her. Together, they live a peaceful life tucked away in their cottage in the woods. The witch works her magic, and Ceciline follows closely behind, sweeping floors, gathering ingredients, and staying alert should her Mistress need her for anything. The witch refuses to teach her any spells or incantations. But Ceciline doesn't mind. She's perfectly happy with the way things are. She only wishes to be useful.
But things change when a mysterious traveler lands on her doorstep with a thump. And the closer the two become, the more Ceciline questions whether the witch is protecting her...or imprisoning her.
“adding magic to the mundane” with each strange book I write!
As a woman who suffers from depression and social anxiety, I’ve made it my mission to candidly share my experiences with the hopes of helping others dealing with the same. This extends into my fiction work, where I pen tales about woeful women trying their best, with a surrealist, magical touch. Inspired by Japanese surrealist authors like Haruki Murakami and Sayaka Murata, my stories are dark and humorous with a hint…well, a bunch…of absurdity.
