It can be read alone but is best read after The Daughters of Dark Root series because of spoilers. *** When Dark Witch, Larinda, views her future in a crystal ball, she is troubled by what she sees: A handsome soldier and a lavish Samhain party thrown by her cousin Sasha - a party Larinda wasn't invited to. And, as every child who reads fairy tales knows, it’s never a good idea to exclude a witch. Journey back to Dark Root’s early days in this mystical short story, for lovers of magic, and magick, everywhere.
