THE WITCH-KING

A Spooky Tale for Halloween

By Scott Marlowe

The Witch King

About the Book

Do you dare enter the cursed heart of Wilderwood?

When five treasure hunters venture into the cursed Wilderwood seeking fortune, they awaken something far more terrifying than legend—the Witch-King, a spectral lord trapped between life and death for three centuries.

With an army of ghouls and restless spirits closing in around their dying campfire, the adventurers must fight for their lives. But even if they escape the forest’s twisted depths, they’ll discover that the Hollow never truly releases those who enter.

In this spine-chilling Halloween-inspired fantasy tale, a band of treasure hunters discovers that some forests don’t just claim your life—they claim your soul.
