A sci-fi fantasy novelette about witches, tech, and the slow death of Real Magick.
Infamous exile Myrtle MacIntyre is rumoured to be the last true magick-worker. Hoping for mentorship and arcane secrets, Winter Rayne is eager to pledge as her apprentice. What she finds is a cottage full of lies, empty whiskey bottles, and grimoires that hum with hidden circuitry.
Ensnared by Myrtle's enchantments, Winter must decide whether she's chasing real magick or a beautifully manufactured illusion. Her apprenticeship will force her to confront the line between tradition and technology, faith and fraud.
Darkly atmospheric and brimming with gothic tension, The Last Witch is a haunting novelette for fans of dark science fantasy, magical realism, and dystopian tech.
