It’s Twelfth Night. The night when the good witch La Befana travels the world, bringing treats to good little children and coal for the bad. Wizards don’t like coal. And one wizard in particular has held a grudge for a very long time. Suddenly a mysterious affliction is overwhelming a small Italian village, and it seems the only salvation is an ancient ritual wherein an effigy of La Befana will be burnt on a sacrificial bonfire. But if the wizard has his way, it won’t be an effigy that burns. Can Shade pull La Befana from the flames before the wizard gets his revenge? *this short story is available exclusively on Jennifer Blackstream's website
Author
Jennifer Blackstream is a USA Today bestselling author of urban fantasy and paranormal romance. She is amazed and grateful to have made a writing career out of a Master’s degree in Psychology, hours of couch-detecting watching Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, and endless research into mythology and fairy tales. She firmly believes that whether it’s a village witch deciding she wants to be a private investigator, or a single mother having a go at being a full time writer, it’s never too late for a new adventure. A fervent devotee of cooperative board games, Jennifer sets aside at least two nights a week for team-based adventures such as Mice & Mystics, Sentinels of the Multiverse, or Harry Potter: Battle at Hogwarts. She uses games with dice-based mechanics to lure in her ridiculously lucky-rolling son and daughter in the hope that they too will develop a passion for cooperative escapism.
