About A Curse of Ash and Embers
Elodie arrives at Black Oak Cottage expecting ordinary domestic work and discovers that her new mistress, Aleida, is a witch. Aleida has barely survived the final curse of the dead witch Gyssha Blackbone, whose legacy includes roaming monsters, a demonic tree and an angry warlock demanding payment of a debt. Though neither woman expected the other, they must work together to contain the magical chaos.
