In a magical Welsh countryside, Rowan visits her aunt, a hedge witch, seeking peace. However, she soon faces mysterious events that threaten to expose magic to the outside world.
The Hedge Witch is a captivating novella set in the enchanting universe of the bestselling novel Threadneedle. The story follows Rowan, who travels to the picturesque Welsh countryside to visit her aunt, Winne, a hedge witch. Seeking a respite from her bothersome sisters, Rowan hopes to reconnect with nature and sharpen her magical skills. However, she quickly discovers that the world of hedge witchcraft is far more complex than she anticipated, and her peaceful retreat may not be as tranquil as she envisioned.
As Rowan settles into her new surroundings, she becomes aware of unsettling occurrences in the town that are stirring anxiety within the secretive magical community. The presence of non-magical folk, known as cowans, begins to complicate matters, as they start to take notice of the strange happenings. This growing tension forces Rowan to confront the realities of her magical heritage and the responsibilities that come with it.
Determined to master her hedge craft, Rowan embarks on a journey to forge new friendships while unraveling the mysteries behind the town's disturbances. As she navigates the challenges of her magical abilities and the potential exposure of their world, she must decide whether to embrace her destiny or risk revealing the secrets of magic to the outside world. The Hedge Witch promises an engaging exploration of self-discovery, friendship, and the delicate balance between the magical and non-magical realms.
