Description
In the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, a long-standing conflict between industry and nature is about to be decided. When the last witch of the Ridge, Bennie Mattox, discovers a mysterious woman in a coal mine, she sets out to uncover the truth behind the strange occurrences. The woman, known as Motheater, is a witch bound to the land, with power in her hands and a deep connection to the natural world. As Bennie and Motheater work together to unravel the mystery of Motheater's past, they must also confront the choices that will shape the future of their community. Bennie's quest for answers is driven by a personal tragedy, the loss of her best friend in a coal mine. Her decision to investigate the strange happenings on Kire Mountain is motivated by a desire to uncover the truth and protect the people she cares about. As the story unfolds, Bennie and Motheater's actions have the potential to change the face of the town itself. A nuanced queer fantasy, Motheater is a story about the power of nature, the importance of community, and the choices that shape our lives.
