Do Not Fall in Love with a Witch
In a forest where spirits watch, love is forbidden.
Odinka is a young hunter, brave and restless, raised on warnings whispered by elders and stories told by firelight. The forest is not just a hunting ground; it is a place of spirits, curses, and ancient laws that no one dares to break.
But on a single hunt, Odinka sees her.
Kesse lives where the village fears to tread, alone by the stream, gathering herbs, listening to the forest as though it speaks back to her. The villagers call her a witch. They say she is cursed. They say loving her means losing your soul. Odinka did not listen.
As his bond with Kesse deepens, the forest begins to change. Spirits stir. Shadows watch. Ancient forces awaken, demanding payment for a love that was never meant to exist. Warnings turn into whispers, and whispers into terror, as Odinka is pulled into a world where love is not a blessing, but a curse.
This story is told through the eyes of his closest friend. Do Not Fall in Love with a Witch is a dark African folklore tale of forbidden love, obsession, and the terrible price of defying ancient powers. It is a story about fear and desire, superstition and truth, and what happens when the heart chooses what the spirits forbid.
Some love stories end in happiness. This one ends in legend.
