"Alice!... You can't slap a Prince!" -Justine; The Witches of Andar- Book 1





Sweeping her graying hair out of her eyes for the hundredth
time, Malinda looked longingly out of the small kitchen
window as she slowly and steadily stirred the small bubbling
cauldron on the fire. Being the castle's head witch did have its
perks- this wasn't one of them.
Being the perfectionist she is, Malinda insisted on making all
of her concoctions herself. She couldn't abide having anyone
else tinkering with her precious ingredients and recipes, not
even Alice or Justine, her two closest friends. Alice didn't
seem to mind her finicky ways, though Justine's curious
demeanor had landed her on Malinda's ugly side on more
than one occasion.
A quiet, respectable witch, Alice Seawall was the matriarch of
the Scotsea tribe. Though it was Malinda who was the head
of the entire coven, the Anu Scotts, Alice acted as executor,
carrying out her many requests. Justine was Alice's protégé,
though a naïve and fanciful one at best.
The Anu Scotts were known as An-Kishar witches (An-Kishar
meaning "the joining of Heaven and Earth") and were widely
sought out over other branches of witchcraft, due to their
peaceful nature and ancient knowledge. Malinda, Alice, and
Justine served King Randir and the entire domain of Andar in
all matters from the trivial to the crucial.
With a few more deft turns of her enchanted ladle, Malinda's
remedy for the King's cousin, the Duke of St. Clair, was finally
ready to bottle. Why he'd asked for a hair enhancement tonic
was beyond her, though. He had locks even some women
were jealous of. But, she had learned early on not to question
royalty. She was especially reluctant to even deal with St.
Clair, but she really had no choice; he was the king's closest
living relative, after all. Corking the intricately inscribed glass
vial, Malinda sent it floating into the next room to land on
Alice's desk.
Looking up from her books and scrolls, Alice eyed Malinda.
"You know," she said, "you could just walk it over here. I'm
only five feet away. Or better yet, take it to him yourself, this
time. I'm not even close to being done transcribing these
spells."
Souring, Malinda replied, "Oh, fine. I'll do it. That
pompous Duke had better just take the bottle and let me on
my way, or so help me, I'll turn him into a... a..."
"A cat-dog?" supplied Alice, not even bothering to hide her
grin.
"Yes, Alice. A cat-dog, so he'll always be at war with himself."
With that, Malinda wrapped her woolen green cloak tighter
around herself and went off in search of the handsome, yet
devilish, Duke of St. Clair.
