She was seven years old when she found him in the woods.

He wasn't a dog—Non knew that immediately. Too bright. Too knowing. Too other.

She shared her chocolate with him anyway.

When the King of Annwn comes to claim what's his, Non does the only thing that makes sense to her: she says no.

She's just a child. He's ruled the Otherworld since time began.

Fire in the Woods is a prequel short story to the Witches of Môrlan series, telling the tale of how Non met her impossible companion—and faced down a king to keep him. Join my newsletter and get access to your copy now.
