No one has tracked more witches, nor eliminated more dark powers from this realm than Neel, a hunter whose reputation has no equal.

But someone is killing former witches. Those who have renounced their powers are now the victims of heinous deeds...and one of them, afraid for his life has summoned the hunter to track his future murderer in the name of justice.

A sinister secret, however, lies at the heart of these deeds; one which even Neel and his wife, the clever Marwyen—a former witch in her own self—have yet to see in this quest shrouded in blood, magic, and vengeance. Their trek will take them far from the realm of enchanted beasts and two-faced princes, to the darkness of the Deadlands, the shadow of a warning beacon's tower, and into the fortress of a cunning adversary, where Neel must conquer his own demons to survive.

The third tale in The Dark Woods' spin-off series The Chronicles of the Witch Hunter pits Neel against his darkest foe yet.
