J. Joyer - THE WITCH’S MARK (English Edition) - 2026

He didn't believe in witches. Then he walked into her cabin.
It was supposed to be a stupid dare. Ten minutes inside the abandoned cabin in the woods, a photo for the group chat, and back home before dark.
Instead, he wakes up in a hospital three days later with black markings spreading across his skin. And the woman sitting next to him at the bus stop has the same marks, the same impossible blue eyes, and a smile that says she remembers everything that happened in the dark.
Her name is Gillian. She's been trapped in that cabin for centuries. And without meaning to, he just broke her curse.
Now their souls are bound. She can hear his thoughts. She can feel what he feels. And if he walks too far away from her, the pain could kill him.
Gillian wants what she never had: chocolate, the ocean, hot showers, a life. A life with him. But the witch who bound herself to him still carries centuries of rage, and her power is growing. People around her are starting to lose control. So is he.
Then a golden-eyed stranger begins visiting him in his dreams, promising she can help him tame the witch before it's too late.
All he has to do is trust her.
Some curses are meant to be broken. Some bonds were never meant to be made.
