The Woodland Witch—Available Now
“Ring the bell, my dear witch, and I will follow you gladly.”
A Woodland Witch hides deep in the dark forest. Her plague, fuelled by dark magic, strikes at the heart of the village and its people, their skin rotting whilst they still lived.
Determined to prove his worth, a man storms the woods to defeat the evil witch, but what he finds is not warts, toadstools, and deadly spells, but kindness and beauty. The witch is not wicked at all.
Yet the fact still remains. She caused the plague. Her death could end it. He must choose to save his village or let them die to save the witch.
A standalone Crooked Atlas Story.
The Wanderers—Coming Tuesday 7 July
“Death feels colder than I had imagined.”
They built a wall to keep the wasteland out. They built a dome to keep the sky away. They built a life inside to forget the world that died.
But the Wanderers remembered.
When the Wanderers leave for the wasteland and the gates lock behind them, Arlo watches the woman he loves walk toward almost certain death.
He follows alone. Beyond the Great Wall. Into the grey.
To find her, he must defy the city's ruthless enforcers and cross a dying world where nothing grows — almost nothing.
A standalone Crooked Atlas story.

She must survive the night alone.

He never missed a target. Never asked a question. Never backed down.
Until her.
They call him The Hunter — a man forged from pain, who roams the galaxy eliminating prey with ruthless efficiency. His latest contract: eliminate a bounty hunter whose face he cannot know.
But when a small girl inserts herself between The Hunter and his prey, he must face the one thing he swore to destroy.
The father he buried.
