Andras Hill This novella is cozy fantasy at its barest - no action, barely any romance.

On the cusp of the English civil war, amid a climate of witch hunts, the remote village of Andras Hill is forced to admit there is a hillside spirit (Anthracyda) deep in the neighboring hills. The villagers try to understand the benefits and dangers of having a supernatural neighbor and how that impacts their own relationships within the village. Some struggle than others to define their relationship with that reality.

Each chapter is told from the perspective of one or more of the people in the village with the exception of the ballad Song of Anthracyda, reproduced in the Prologue with chords. The ballad recounts the story of a shepherd meeting the small god (or hillside spirit if you choose) Anthracyda in a blizzard on Winter Solstice, December 21, 1641. It is told again from the shepherd's point of view in the Shepherd's Tale in the second chapter of the Prologue.
