The Isadora Interviews by Katie Cross | A Short Story in The Network Series

A novella in The Network Series that can be read at any time.

Isadora can see into the heart of every witch she meets.

Quiet, old, and powerful, she lives alone in the fog-strewn forest of Letum Wood, where wild magic whispers through the trees and future possibilities press close around her.

As a Watcher, Isadora possesses a rare and formidable gift: the ability to see what may come.

That foresight makes her the perfect guardian for the prestigious Miss Mabel’s School for Girls.

Any witch who wants to enter the school must first pass an interview with Isadora.

But no ordinary interview waits in the forest.

No secret insecurity can hide from a Watcher.

No sinister motivation can stay buried.

And four teenage girls—Leda, Camille, Michelle, and Priscilla—are about to discover that Isadora sees far more than they expect.
