★Worldbuilding ★Enemies to Friends to Lovers ★He Falls First ★Slowburn

Zane hated witches. After fighting against them for years in the Great War, it was only natural for a grudge to fester, especially after a peace treaty was signed. Now with an evergrowing void in his chest, Zane works day in and day out as a cook hoping one day he might be able to open his own restaurant. That dream was growing further away...until he runs into a witch in the forest.

Sherry, an illusionist, falls onto him as she is escaping some gamblers she cheated. She is cocky, manipulative, and rude but most importantly she offers Zane a job. All he has to do is join her in a strange quest with a rag-tag group of witches and his dream of owning a restaurant becomes a little bit closer.

But the more time he spends with Sherry, the more he realizes something is off. She is off. She has secrets she keeps from everyone around her and a darkness she can't control. Is he willing to go against everything he believes in for a few extra dollars? In this economy, definitely.
