Enchantress Fluria Booms soars through the moonlit sky on Halloween night. Storm clouds swirl around her, the wind howls, and pumpkins glow on the ground below. But Fluria doesn't mind – she's sipping her hot chocolate with marshmallows, utterly delighted with life.

This book follows the adventures of Enchantress Fluria and her friends – a boy named Vitalik and his little sister Sonya.

Her lazy, scholarly cat pretends to chase mice. In truth, he's their best friend – he only puts on a show so his mistress won't scold him for his idleness.

Character Development for the Book
I sketch and develop all the main characters right after receiving the manuscript and discussing the author's vision for each hero. This is a crucial and deeply responsible stage – bringing the written word to life through expressive visual storytelling.
Fluria is a joyful witch – still very young by magical standards, just 330 years old. That's why she finds her elderly neighbors – the Water Sprite and the Wood Goblin – a bit dull, and she's always yearning for new friends and exciting adventures.

Vitalik's sister Sonya is dressed as a kitten – complete with cat ears and a fluffy tail. She's still very small, and she gets lost in the middle of the city. Vitalik searches frantically, but it's Fluria who finally helps the brother find his sister and brings them both safely home on this magical Halloween night.
