Helpless, 17-year-old witch Blodwyn watches as her mother, the Blodheska, dies in childbirth. Unwilling to inherit the mantle and incredible power of the Blodheska, Blodwyn is intent on resurrecting her. After all, only her mother could possibly bring back the Old Gods, as was written in the prophecy. Blodwyn does not think she can carry such a heavy burden. Her grief is heavy enough. She finds herself at odds with her own coven, all of whom insist she follow the rules and caution against the arcane ritual. Inspired by true events, Witch of the White Serpent is a study on loss, longing, and letting the dead rest in peace.
