The Witch Who Rules the Undead in Another World

(New book out now: The Witch Warden) The learned ghost wields a pointer; The elegant vampire sits in a tavern, plucking bloodstained strings; The tireless undead swing their hoes, tending fields of wheat and hope; The righteous hero spirit and the wicked lich sit together beneath the sunset, riding a seesaw; The innocent gargoyle plays a maze game atop a giant skeleton; The fearsome bone dragon and death knight race fiercely, charging toward the distant finish line to cheers of cannon fire and magic. A beautiful white-haired nun leans against a stained-glass window, gazing absentmindedly at all she has brought about. She cannot help recalling that distant morning, years ago, when her teacher planned to take her to the city to enjoy wealth and glory. If she had not made the choice she could live with back then, she would not have become the witch who keeps the empress awake all night and makes the goddess tremble. “Sister, what is divine magic?” a child’s innocent voice interrupted her wandering thoughts. “Divine magic is the art of commanding the gods. It’s much like necromancy.” Aileen turned her gaze back and replied with a smile.
