Witch's Cold: Donal

By M. Garnet

For over four hundred years he fought a curse placed on him that left him not as human but as cold. He haunted the snow banks of mountain passes and floated with the bergs on the seas. He made only a few friends as a voice without a body. Usually he made people uncomfortable. He missed his three older brothers, who had also had curses placed on them. He missed the Highlands of Scotland. But he did learn and watch, and then a strange miracle happened.

A North American native changed him back, breaking the curse. In return, he stayed with them, worked on the ice fields and lived within the cold land. Now a true Ice Princess is drawn to him. Can he find happiness?

Witch’s Curse Series

By

M. Garnet

This Series is dedicated to my First Cousin Maryanne, who introduced me to my first wedding performed by a Wicca, and to my beautiful daughter, who was the Maid of Honor and took it all in with the respect she pays to any religion.

So any curse has to have a good side along with the bad or it will come back to bite the one who placed it.

Prologue

Who believes in curses and witches? Well, one could say it depended on the time, mostly in history, or the location.

In Medieval Europe, an unsettled time with ignorant savages and sophisticated monks, most believed in curses and witches. The savages used the curses, believing that the words could protect them from evil and help bring good to their needs. At this same time, there were the monks who burned the witches.

Seers were part of the history and myths of many civilizations, from the Norse to Mediterranean. Even today, the sites of the Seer or witch are being studied, from the famous Three Hundred to the possibility of Hercules.

In the Far East, a thousand years before the birth of Christ, the Chinese developed civilization and culture to a degree that impressed the rest of the world. They lived on the word of their Priests. The Priests acted as intermediaries between the real world and the dead. The Priests gave out good news and bad. They influenced leaders, going so far as to change the direction of a war or a political decision, based on the threat of a curse. The Priests claimed to have a link to the dead that only the very rich or the royal families could honor. This gave the Priests great power, sometimes more than the leader of the country, because everyone believed in their ability to hand out curses.

But in the twentieth century, most people
