A witch burdened with pain, a woman cursed with a ravenous inheritance.

"You know your grandfather was the Pannonian Witch, right?"

Stuck making cheap enchantments for her fellow villagers at the edge of the swamp and weekly card games at the local café, Gordana has one final go at changing her fate at the end of her long and miserable life.

"I hope he told you that much."

The newcomer Monika, a city woman down on her luck, confronted with a threatening inheritance hidden deep in the entangled roots of the old oaks, might be Gordana's last chance of turning her life around—unless the forest decides against it.

"And I hope he warned you I'm nothing like him."

At the crossroads of wits and bad choices, nature at its best and at its deadliest, the backdrop of a secluded nature park plays out its own dark role in author Lea Katarina Gobec's debut eco horror novella The Last Witch of Lonjsko Polje.

Enjoy this perilous trip into hidden parts of modern-day Europe with a special double feature! Included in this edition is The Secret of Mrtvi Kal, a short story about the price of artistry, adoration, and annihilation.
