A Fantasy 1930s Witch Tale

Witches Under a
Crooked Moon

Assassins, princes, and a village that burns what it fears.
Thornvale, 1930s — where witchfire is outlawed, and the monsters aren’t always magical.
On the edge of a trembling kingdom, three masked witches make their living in the shadows, taking assassin jobs humans are too afraid to touch. Dysa Bloom is the youngest of them, raised in a cottage of contracts and killing spells she wants no part of. When she is sent to murder the prince of Thornvale and freezes instead, one choice shatters the script she was born into. The boy on the pillow lives, the mission fails, and the witch the village was taught to fear becomes the only reason their heir is still breathing. Now in a world that hunts witches, crowns control marriages, and fairies are worshipped while hiding their own teeth, Dysa and Aron find themselves pulled toward each other by a magic neither of them meant to cast: something stubborn, dangerous, and almost gentle in the spaces between.
