The Witch of Luna Hill is part one of a three-book fantasy series.

Merian is 'the' social outcast of her university. Not only because she’s not into the whole competing for boys, grades and popularity, but mostly because her brother has joined the enemy and is the new sheriff of their home county of Witch’s Nose.

Her father was killed in the war, and her mother has officially lost her mind, trying to marry Merian away to a dead man.

This summer vacation, which might just be the last from a rundown university suffering in the war brought upon the country by the vicious Vithar, Merian does not want to go home to a heartbroken mother who has lost her marbles, an uncle who pours guilt on top of guilt and the off chance of running into a brother who she wants to slap the hell out of for turning his back on his family.

So she makes other plans. Plans that will lead her into serious trouble, make her face deaths, ghosts and villains. But also bring about a best friend, a chance to kill Vithar and reunite with a dead man who is very much alive.

A year ago, Aia was found dead in a lake. Fortunately, her rescuer managed to resuscitate her. How she ended up in the water in the first place, she doesn’t remember. Actually, she doesn’t remember one single thing about her old life from before she died.

Now she lives her monotone life by the edge of the Great Forest in which she works day in and day out. Up there in Northland beyond the mountains, the war against supernatural beings, humans with strange abilities and all who side with them isn’t quite as visible as in the rest of Bragimark.

But all that is about to change. When old man Poole lends Aia his horse, a terrible fall sends her to Thunder Rock. Her frequent nightmares of what she thinks are memories is accompanied by a ghost urging her to find a princess of whom she knows absolutely nothing about.

But all Aia wants is to go back home to the village and live her life in peace. But she soon realises that in order to get peace, she has to fight for it even if it might kill her. Again.

Venturing out on a journey across the haunted mountains and into the war-torn Witch’s Nose, her role in the war becomes significant, and so does her presence in the lives of the Storm family.
