Curse of the Night Witch is a thrilling, fast-paced fantasy adventure that introduces readers to Emblem Island, where every inhabitant is born with a predetermined fate. Twelve-year-old Tor Luna, unhappy with his destiny, makes a wish that backfires, leaving him with a curse that shortens his life to just one week. With his two loyal friends, Engle and Melda, Tor embarks on a desperate quest across the island, encountering mythical creatures and ancient dangers, all to find the mysterious Night Witch who might hold the key to breaking his curse. This series starter is ideal for readers aged 8-11 who enjoy rich world-building, mythological elements, and stories about friendship, courage, and challenging one's destiny, reminiscent of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson or Roshani Chokshi's Aru Shah series.
