Coven of One
In the bluestone caverns, deep under Masterbridge someone is taking notice. It has been a long time since there’s been anything to notice, anything at all, but there is, imperceptibly, something there. The yellow ridged fingernail reaches out to swirl the inky black water. With a sprinkle of chosen herbs the scene bursts into life once again. The shrouded face watches intently as the picture clears, expands, shudders and then settles down to admit the truth . . . yes, she is coming.Coven of One is the story of a simple Hedgewitch’s journey into the furthest recesses of the darkest heart of the darkest demon. A story of spells and potions, imbued with Pagan magic.
