The Witch Who Made Me King

5 episodes · 2 free · checked October 26, 2026 · on Candy October 16

A bastard knight chasing a crown meets a forest witch who offers kneeling lords, paid for one night at a time.

Before episode 1

Ser Garrick has a sword, ambition and an illegitimate birth that makes the realm's nobles sneer. To be crowned he needs seven lords to kneel; two have, and five openly scorn him. The queen regent has her own candidate in mind. Deep in the forest, during a hunt, a witch who already knows his name offers a shortcut. Her price is not gold, and she insists it is not his soul either.

The people in it

  • Ser Garrick: A knight of illegitimate birth who wants the crown and believes his sword can earn it.
  • The witch: Knows his name before he gives it, offers him kneeling lords and wants his body, not his soul.
  • The queen regent: Mentioned but not heard from; holds the crown's fate and sends riders into the woods after him.
  • His squire: Brings warnings about the hunt and the regent's riders, and may soon be sent the wrong way.

The two free episodes

Episode 1Free, no account

Somewhere in the woods, a challenge rings out: who is there? A voice answers that nobody will crown a knight born out of wedlock, and addresses Ser Garrick by name. He tells her to speak plainly. She claims she can deliver the royalty he craves, and asked her price, says she only wants what he is already riding toward. The math is grim: seven lords need to bow, two have, five scorn him. He vows to win them by the sword. She doubts it, mocks him as a stable hand, then softens and says he has the look of a king. Her offer: come at moonrise, share her bed, yield to her will, and a lord bends the knee by morning. A call from the hunting party pulls him away.

Episode 2Free with a free account

She greets him smugly: men like him always come. He asks her price outright. The terms: a night with her per lord who bows, five nights for the five holdouts, and she wants him, not his soul. And if he refuses? Then Haldan mocks him at the coronation, the queen regent hands the crown to a man she picks, and Garrick remains a mere knight for life. She muses on what men give up for power. His squire reports that the regent's riders are combing the forest for him. Let her look, he says. The witch's final suggestion: misdirect the squire, and tonight he learns the true cost of wearing a crown.

Where the free run stops. The witch has named her terms and proposed a lie for the squire, and Garrick has not said yes. Whether he pays her price, and whether the first lord actually kneels, stays outside the free episodes.

What kind of show it is

Dark fairy-tale bargaining with more menace than romance: the witch talks in riddles and ultimatums, Garrick in short, proud sentences. Dialogue carries nearly everything, the heat lives in the promise of what each night costs, and the pace is brisk, with interruptions from the outside world raising the stakes.
