Scary October needs a scary witch.
The scariest witch of all is one who wants to steal a life to extend her own.
To trap her victims, she pretends to help them.
And the scariest of witches has done this more than once.
In Autumn Spells that Scary Witch is Neehla.
Eager to re-embody herself in a younger woman, Neehla builds asorcerous spell. She traps the swordmaster Hethan in her spell and sends him after the Green Mage Saisha.
She does not know that Hethan and Saisha have met before.
She does not know that Saisha has befriended an accursed Prica, a man trapped in wolf form.
And she certainly doesn’t know that Hethan and Saisha will be united in love and determined not to be willing victims in Neehla’s plot.
The corrupt dame Neehla wants the swordsman Hethan to bring a Green mage to Senric Keep. There she will reincarnate herself in Saisha’s younger body.
She bespells Hethan to rip away Saisha’s power.
Hethan and Saisha first met in Baien Castletown. Although they were attracted, her magic prevented him from pursuing any connection.
Now the dame’s dark spells brings them together.
Can Saisha disentangle Hethan from the sorcery? Or will she be trapped and turned into a wraith while the dark dame inhabits her body?

Prologue
In this life her name was Neehla. Over many lives, she had lost some things, gained others. Through them all, her sorcery remained tangible evil, woven from the elemental air and the incense of her spells.
Her fingers flew across the loom, weaving a snare for the unwary. She snatched a spiral of smoke from the air and twisted it deftly before joining the sorcered strand to the thread on the shuttle. As it shot across the warp threads on the loom, the gray smoke deepened, becoming as darkly hued as the power that shaped it.
