Noelle C. Richter Her Dark Omens

In the forgotten village of Trist, stepping out of line can quickly lead a woman to burn at the stake. The lonesome healer Kamari Sable knows to keep her eyes down and her feet still. Already, the villagers are suspicious of her. In their eyes, only witches roam the neighbouring forest, but for Kami, it holds all the life she so desperately needs to give her patients. Trying to cure her childhood friends' mother from the same illness that claimed her family years ago, Kami must venture into the forest to brew the medicine that may save her. But had she known what awaited her, she might never have gone. Now haunted by ghostly figures that blur the line between dream and reality, and a persistent crow, her grip on sanity begins to slip. And the villagers cast wary eyes on her. Kami is forced to learn that questioning one's sanity can be a ruthless beast to defeat, and she soon understands that burning a witch won't save them from what's coming. Her Dark Omens is a chilling tale of nightmares and monsters, love and friendship, and overcoming one's prejudices.
