Hunt the witch
Find the witch
Kill the witch
In Gadore, the Witch is feared above all else. Reborn into each generation, she is the only person with magic running innately through her veins.
When guards across the city begin to drop dead, gruesomely murdered by violent and vicious magic, everyone knows the Witch has returned – and no one will be safe until she’s killed.
Toran is the most highly skilled fighter in the King’s Guard. Tasked with leading the hunt for the Witch, he forcibly recruits Nes, a thief with an uncanny ability to sniff out magic.
But the Witch is always a step ahead, and with bodies piling up, secrets threaten to come to light – secrets that could destroy everything from the fragile trust between Toran and Nes, to the very city of Gadore itself.

About the Author
Lindsey Olsson has been dreaming up stories since she first learned to write. After studying creative writing at Elon University, she went on to receive an MFA in writing for children and young adults from Hamline University. When she isn't covering the walls of her home with book ideas, she can be found skiing and snowboarding, climbing rock walls, or adventuring alongside her husband. She has yet to say no when offered a doughnut ... or a dozen. To Drown a Witch is her debut novel. Find her online at LindseyOlsson.com or follow her on Instagram @LindseyOlssonAuthor.
