The Witch of Ferathan

An alluring stranger. A trail of destruction. Will Ferathan survive her charm?

When a stranger arrives in the secluded town of Ferathan, the townspeople are enamored by her mystique and beauty. Lonely farmer Gaethen Devorac is the particular target of Naliah Lunarra's affections, and he is oblivious to the strange occurrences in town since she appeared.

As the community endures famine, rare attacks by giants, and bizarre behavior by the local livestock and wildlife, the people of Ferathan turn to Naliah for protection. Gaethen's skeptical friend Jermaine Fielder follows Naliah's path of destruction that led her to the town. Will he discover who—and what—she really is before it's too late for Gaethen and the rest of Ferathan?

The Witch of Ferathan is a standalone story set seventy years before The Forest of Despair, Book One of The Pierced Shadow Archive. Chapter One of The Forest of Despair is also included as a special sneak preview.
