The Last Wrathwitch
A novel by
DAVID PAUL GEORGE
Haunted by Inner Demons.
Hunted by Real Ones.
It's a Lot.
​​
Fifteen-year-old Affinity Blending is fine with being a half-assed witch. She’s been on the run for years, no time for witchcraft, just trying to stay ahead of the witch-hunting demon who imprisoned her mother in Hell. If she could just be a normal Northern California teenager and attend the same school for more than like, two seconds? That’d be amazing.


But Affinity’s got a terrible secret about her mom’s abduction, a secret she hides even from herself...
“The Last Wrathwitch is a lovely book. Following its own colorful logic, the witchcraft slips into the real world without ever being too easy. Affinity has to earn it, same as any other fifteen-year-old — the hard way. I was rooting for her at every step.”

“Funny and smart with a punk rock heart, the last wrathwitch battles ændemons, mobster crows, living spellbooks, and the occasional panic attack—IT’S A BRILLIANTLY ENTERTAINING READ!”

BIO
Gods and monsters, heroes and demons, witches and gorgons and prophecies — as a little squirt learning to read, I lucked into a primer featuring two plucky kids time-traveling back to ancient Greece, and boy, did my head explode.
​
I was hooked.
Soon I was gobbling up horror stories, ghost stories, UFO tales — feasting on fantasy and speculative fiction, anything touched by magic or the unknown. So of course, I had to start writing my own.
Over the years I’ve written all sorts of things — songs, stories, poems, code — but those early Greek myths stuck like tattoos. Gods and monsters still spark my imagination, still fuel my dreams (and my writing).
These days I live and write in Northern California, where a murder of crows lurks in the redwood across the street. The Last Wrathwitch is my first novel — and it absolutely wouldn’t exist without those time-traveling kids.
