Over the background of a dark forest, the cover of The Witch of the Wood by Alex Larkspur with the blurb of the book next to it.
Blurb:
There is a witch hiding in the trees of Hatwick Wood. They are a steward of the wood, caring for the alders, maples, and cedar within, watching over the home of the beasts and birds. The people who survive on the generosity of Hatwick Wood—every denizen from Farbreak at the south edge to Northpost on the opposite side—respects the witch. Everyone knows the witch is the forest caretaker, and if anything ever went wrong, they need to be found to mend it.
When Hatwick Wood is cursed, the witch must be found. It is up to Milo Ashton, an unremarkable member of the Ashton hunting clan, to venture into the cursed forest and find the witch. But soon, he is cursed himself. A mysterious hermit named Cam finds him and swears that he can help Milo lift the curse. Milo is torn between the magnetic draw he feels towards Cam and the certainty that Cam is hiding something from him. Milo must find the witch, lift the curse, and reckon with his own feelings before he is consumed by the wood.
