In an age where the climate crisis has turned disasters into part of everyday life, society looks upon the aid offered by witches—those working outside official institutions—with suspicion and distrust. Yet White Witch Jung Da-hee never ceases her work: tending to disaster sites, healing the injured, rescuing sick animals, and appeasing the spirits of nature. Though unlicensed, she devotes herself wholeheartedly to doing what she can. One day, Da-hee receives a peculiar request from Gwak Sun-woo, heir to a conglomerate in the alternative food industry: a young girl with severe agoraphobia has died of an infectious disease. Sun-woo suspects deliberate intervention, while Da-hee insists “perfect isolation is impossible”—yet tempted by the enormous fee, she agrees to investigate. As they pursue the case, they uncover disturbing clues: many victims were not only vulnerable but living with mental illness, and all bore traces of a dark magic. As fear spreads, Da-hee senses a vast conspiracy designed to deepen inequality and discrimination, even as Sun-woo, torn between privilege and guilt, begins to forge an unlikely bond at her side. And just as they draw closer to the truth, something utterly beyond belief stands before them…

A dazzling imagination of our time, questioning climate and humanity, survival and ethics. The Climate Witch goes beyond simple fantasy to confront disasters born of the climate crisis—laying bare inequality, discrimination, and the vulnerability of the marginalized. Through the symbol of the witch, it offers new possibilities of solidarity and healing. At once a literary reflection of today’s global climate emergency and an ecofeminist narrative of profound significance, the novel shines as a gentle yet radiant imagination that could only emerge in this era.
