Synopsis
Witchshadow follows Iseult as she briefly reunites with her heartsister Safi before circumstances force the two apart again, each fleeing separately to survive amid a Witchlands sliding further into chaos. The Bloodwitch Aeduan continues to grapple with mysterious and unsettling forces connected to his own nature, while the dethroned queen Vivia navigates the political wreckage of her lost throne, each character's storyline converging on a common, escalating crisis. As villains drawn from old legend begin to stir once more, the fate of the fractured realm increasingly comes to rest on the mythical Cahr Awen, a pairing of legendary witches whose true significance the characters are only beginning to grasp.
