From publisher blurb: Pagan warriors battle giant machines in a fight to save their home. The peaceful witches of Novala lived in harmony with nature before the Apothecary arrived. Its machines tore up the soil and sickened the land. The Novallans saw no choice but to fight back to save their world. Now, it’s nature versus machines and conservation versus consumption. The witches continue to fight for their way of life and cleanse the blight brought by the Apothecary, but they are running out of time. Form a coven of Novallan witches known as the Ironbound and take the fight directly to the Apothecary at great physical, emotional and spiritual risk. Use your witchy knowledge of herbs, gems, and energy to heal your world and bring back peace to Novala. Enter the world of Novala, a tranquil paradise home placed under siege by the greed of the Apothecary.
