Excerpt from Chapter 1:

The best course of action was to continue the conversation. "Did you think you’d find a witch here? You haven’t answered me." She sensed the drawing in of Bastian’s emotions.

"They can be anywhere, even here."

Tessa recalled a story her mother had told her as a child, and thought it might be a good distraction. "Well, I think you’re right. There’s one here."

He moved next to her, hand griping the hilt of his sword. "What?" All his feelings of desire vanished, and eagerness and alarm replaced it. And something else underneath, darker and more feral.

"There, the constellation," Tessa said. "The story of the witch in the sky. She follows you wherever you are. Even in a nowhere town like Sierka."

Bastian relaxed. "Yes, I know, but that one’s already dead. The sun is her head, rolling throughout the sky by day, soaked in blood."

"So gruesome. My mother also told me that she’d find her head one day and have her revenge." Tessa laughed.
