Witterkin by W.K. Greyling
Unrated

The mysterious plant-like beings known as Witterkin have been attacked and begin a viral spread, destroying everything they touch. Nya, a wise woman, and Yaro, the town Windsinger, try to heal the damage and halt the spread. However, something goes awry and they both slip sideways into another world. Nya emerges alone, greeted only by Yaro’s ghostly windsinging. During her dangerous search for him she must combat the will of powerful figures who wish to hold him for their own ends. But rescuing the man she loves won’t solve the bigger problem. The evil that harmed the Witterkin now threatens both worlds. To fight it, Nya will have to delve deep into her own mysterious heritage.

W.K. Greyling

W.K. Greyling writes stories that feel like they’ve drifted in from an older world, the kind of tales where forests hold their breath and forgotten songs linger in the air. Living in Nova Scotia, she draws inspiration from landscapes steeped in mist and sea-light, as well as from the medieval and Renaissance music she curates for Ancient FM. That music becomes part of her writing ritual, shaping the rhythm and cadence of her prose.

Her first fantasy duology, The Aure series (Beneath the Roots and White Bird), introduced readers to a realm threaded with winged peoples, cursed woods, and the kind of quiet magic that unsettles as much as it enchants. Influenced by writers like William Morris, Patricia A. McKillip, and Robin Hobb, Greyling leans toward lyrical fantasy that favors atmosphere, character growth, and emotional resonance over spectacle.

Since then, her work has expanded into new directions, from the dreamlike Witterkin to Silver Light, the opening of her Mothertree series, where characters grapple with bonds deeper than the earth itself. She has even explored science fiction with Canis Alpha, showing a versatility that still carries her signature intimacy and otherworldly tone.

What sets Greyling’s stories apart is the way they invite readers into places that feel both strange and familiar, where the fantastic grows out of the ordinary. Her characters often navigate solitude, belonging, and discovery, echoing the timeless themes that define the best of fantasy.

Though still an emerging name, Greyling has gathered a devoted readership who turn to her books not for fast-paced spectacle but for the lingering hush of a story that stays after the last page is turned. Her work is for those who want fantasy that breathes slowly, quietly, and deeply—like a forest alive with secrets.
