In the medieval continent of Terrall, the existence of witches and wizards are rare. Feared and persecuted by some while revered and glorified by others, most of them choose to live their lives safe in secrecy. But not all. Enter the Western kingdom of Uldard, where rumors of a nefarious 'Snow Witch' leaving destruction in her wake has reached the people's ears-including a homeless and quick-witted crow thief named Noct, who holds an intense resentment towards those of her kind. Noct finds himself deceived by fate when he chooses the wrong person to steal from-a seemingly harmless girl with white hair and unnaturally silver eyes named Chell. When the thief finds out that Chell is actually the rumored Snow Witch, the tables are turned and instead of keeping his distance, an unavoidable series of events and circumstances leads to him and the girl creating an oath to each other: for him to protect her and for her to repay him. A witch. A thief. A curse. A promise. This is the beginning of an unlikely tale of two people and their long, perilous journey. | stunning cover by @-rayofsunshine ! | #71 in Fantasy (3/4/17) | Vol. 1 in The Wandering Witch series
