The Witch-Bane is a psychological crime novel centered on a calculated serial killer who turns murder into ritual and meaning into weapon.
When a series of meticulously executed killings begin appearing across the city, Alexander and Yiyao are pulled into a case that refuses to behave like a normal investigation. The murderer leaves behind patterns instead of chaos, intention instead of impulse. Each scene suggests purpose, as though the crimes are part of a larger design. As the body count grows, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, and Alexander must confront the possibility that the Witch-Bane is not merely committing murders-but building something. Dark, methodical, and psychologically tense, The Witch-Bane explores obsession, control, and the cost of understanding evil too well.
