Short Stories of Witchkind
by Don Jones
Explore the rich and wonderful world of witchkind with this collection of 8 short stories!
The world of witchkind is steeped in ancient history and recent conflict. It's a world where magic is controlled by beautiful, complex runes, and where magic aligns itself with the fundamental forces of Sea and Sky, and Earth and Flame. It's a place where witchkind lives in secret alongside humans, living and working in hidden spaces that somehow exist within the buildings erected by humans. A world where the ancient powers once ran amuck, only to be bound by five brave Archons into the great Axes of Power. A world where youngsters' Tests determine their destinies, and where magic is an everyday part of life—even for the unknowing humans of the world. It's a world of mystery and wonder that will seize your imagination!
These 8 tales range across the history of the universe of witchkind, including the beforetimes (“The Hunt”), and the Age of the Adherents (“Coins of a Witch,” “Lessons,” “Nothing But Tests,” “Witchwood,” “Transfer to Thornwaithe’s,” and “Fisherwitch”). You’ll even enjoy a short historical tale that’s also a puzzle for you to solve (“The True Language”).
These stories offer an opportunity to explore the edges and unseen parts of the world of witchkind, touching on some of their most significant historical events as well as their everyday lives. If you’ve read “Daniel Scratch: a story of witchkind,” then you’ll love these additional peeks into the world’s backstories. If you haven’t, then this collection is a great way to get a feel for this deeply imagined world.
