Be careful what you wish for—especially if Hagatha Crow is listening.

Hagatha Crow isn’t known for her warm heart or holiday spirit. Mischief is her favorite pastime, and meddling in mortal affairs is second nature. So when a sorrowful Christmas wish reaches her ears, she can’t resist twisting it to suit her own agenda.

But magic—especially wish magic—is never without consequences.

What starts as a lark quickly spirals into something deeper, and Hagatha finds herself entangled in a tale of love, loss, and a magic stronger than even she expected. To set things right, she’ll have to dig into the one thing she’s avoided for centuries: her own heart.

Wicked Gift of the Witch is a heartwarming, holiday novella featuring the delightfully devious Hagatha Crow. It takes place within the Mag and Clara Balefire Mysteries universe but can be enjoyed as a standalone.
