Verena Sloewood
the Hushfall Witch
Born of the blackthorn grove, named for a truth that only the rain knows.
Power
You call the green dreams from the soil — coaxing seeds to sprout with a murmur and the drip of rain from your fingers.
- Familiar
- a common mole named Mote
- Coven
- Mistgrove
You were patching a roof in the drizzle when the moss on the shingles began to hum. By the time you climbed down, the woods had rearranged themselves around you, and the rain no longer fell from above but seeped upward from the earth.
Where the name comes from
Sloewood — Sloe (the blackthorn sloe) + wood.
