About This Book
Four hundred years of waiting, two mates already lost, and now a witch finds herself trapped in the hands of the very people who might take the rest. A Witch Out of Time drops readers into a world where ancient Slavic mythology collides with shapeshifters, shadowy institutions, and fated bonds that refuse to be tidy or simple. The stakes are personal and cosmic at once — a forest dying from the inside out, a veil between worlds wearing dangerously thin, and a woman who has survived centuries but isn't sure she can survive this.
C. Rochelle writes with a sharp, sardonic wit that keeps even the darkest moments from tipping into grimness, and this second installment in The Yaga's Riders series rewards readers who've been paying attention without punishing those who need a moment to find their footing. At 212 pages, it moves with real efficiency — no wasted scenes, no bloated subplots — while still making room for genuine emotional complexity across multiple perspectives. The MM romance threads sit alongside the central relationship with equal care, and the body-positive sensibility feels woven into the world's logic rather than announced. It's confident, strange, and exactly as weird as it wants to be.
