THE WITCHWORK MYSTERIES

Witchwork and Winterfire

Guilt, Ghosts & A Very Unhelpful Bonfire.

From the back cover:

Three witches. One haunted orchard.
Three witches. One impossible festival. A cozy magical mystery where every flame remembers.

Winter has come to Winterset, bringing with it the town's oldest tradition: Winterfire. Lanterns fill the streets, bonfires light the harbour, and everyone gathers to remember those they've lost.

Until the fires begin behaving strangely.

Blue flames appear without warning. Forgotten memories refuse to stay buried. Long-standing traditions begin to unravel, and as the festival gathers momentum, The Hearth finds itself investigating a mystery woven deep into Winterset's oldest rituals.

Maeven wants evidence. Ivy believes grief itself has taken magical form. Juno is simply trying to enjoy the festival—though a charming visiting historian keeps making that unexpectedly difficult.

As Winterfire reaches its blazing finale, the witches discover that some traditions aren't just remembered.

They're still alive.

Because in Winterset, every fire casts a shadow.

Witchwork & Winterfire is the fifth enchanting mystery in the Witchwork series - filled with humour, heart, and haunting folklore—perfect for fans of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and the Myrtlewood Mysteries, where found family meets ghostly secrets, and the tea is always slightly over-brewed. Read Witchwork & Winterfire today and lose yourself in a world of wit, wonder, and witchcraft gone charmingly sideways.
