“The First Familiar” - A Honeycomb Heart Short Story

Although Honeycomb Heart and its eventual sequel are set in the modern day, I wanted to explore what life was like in the fictional land of Hex much earlier in time. Surely bringing all the world’s witches and magical women within the borders of a single country would cause some issues, yes?

To explore this, I’ve written a short story called “The First Familiar.” It’s a quick read, under 4,000 words, and is currently freely available in epub and pdf format through itch.io here.
