Patreon exclusive If they wanted darkness, then I would shroud them in it until they choked. I’d never particularly liked humans, but I’d never wanted to kill one. Until now. Hidden in a country that hates witches, I’m forced to hide what I am. With my sister working in a secret dark magic club, and our family’s shop gaining unwanted attention, things couldn’t be worse when the notorious witch hunter, Alistair, comes to town. When my sister shows up dead, and my family’s name is called into question, we’re forced to adopt new aliases and leave the home we cherished. As I watch my life fall apart, I vow to destroy the hunter responsible, but his punishment would not be swift. Death was too easy. Redforest is a quaint town, with a church, pretty shops, and people who despise witches. When my family and I move in, I set my sights on Alistair's family, quickly learning everything I can about them. His son, Harrison, is the hunter’s greatest pride. His heir. His confidante. The only family he trusts. I come up with a plan. I am going to shatter every good thing in Alistair's life, starting with his son. My goal: make Harrison fall in love with me, turn him against his father, and ruin everything in his life from the inside out. With my family and heart on the line I must be careful, or I may end up becoming the same monster I am trying to kill.
A witch seeking vengeance targets the son of the man who murdered her sister, risking becoming the monster she hunts. Forced to conceal her identity in a land that reviles her kind, the protagonist's life unravels when her sister is killed by the notorious witch hunter, Alistair. With her family's safety and reputation at stake, she adopts new aliases and devises a plan for retribution. Her objective is to infiltrate the life of Alistair's son, Harrison, by making him fall in love with her and turning him against his father, thereby destroying the hunter from within. This narrative framework, likely told from a first-person perspective, explores the protagonist's struggle to balance her quest for revenge with the fear of succumbing to the darkness she wields.
The premise sets up a dark fantasy romance with a strong revenge plot, likely appealing to readers who enjoy morally gray protagonists and enemies-to-lovers tropes. The narrative's focus on the protagonist's internal struggle and her calculated manipulation of Harrison suggests a character-driven story with high emotional stakes. The setting, a town that despises witches, provides a backdrop of inherent conflict and societal pressure. The inclusion of a 'Patreon Exclusive' tag indicates a direct connection with a dedicated fanbase, suggesting the author is attuned to reader expectations within this niche.
