The Witch and the Wolf
by Erik Julkin
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
A cursed witch and werewolf forced into uneasy alliance trek through a magicless world seeking to break their bond, rescue a bard, and survive shadowy forces. Gorgeous illustrations elevate the gothic atmosphere, and the enemies-to-lovers tension crackles with every page of this quick, immersive novella.
