Witch Queen: The first witch to ever exist was Hecate. This is why she is referred to as the Witch Queen.
Hecate lived over thirty thousand years ago. She was the mother of Hellewise and Maya.
Witch Child: The witches of the Night World believed there existed one witch, an undiscovered descendant of the Harman family, who would be the Witch Child – the only witch who could unite the witches and the shape-shifters to form an alliance for the upcoming battle during the Millennium. Iliana Dominick was believed to be the Witch Child.
Iliana fell in love with the Prince of the First House, Galen Drache. Their engagement did not occur though as Galen already loved another shape-shifter, Raksha Keller. When Iliana learned of his love for Raksha, she performed a blood-tie with Raksha. The witches and the shape-shifters agreed that if Galen and Raksha were promised together, the alliance could still occur.

HOW THE NIGHT WORLD CAME INTO EXISTENCE. Below is the story of how the Night World was formed. You can read the story yourself in the sixth Night World book, Soulmate.
The witch people of the tribe of Maya and Hellewise could summon animals from the forest or influence changes in the weather. In this tribe lived the twin daughters of Hecate, Maya and Hellewise. The sisters were stunningly beautiful but as different as night and day. The tribe knew Maya was doing experiments in the forest to find the spell for immortality. However, nobody believed she would harm the tribe.
Maya was underestimated though, because she did find the spell and to do it, she had to steal four babies from the tribe and drink their blood. Maya disappeared after stealing the babies. The tribe found the bled out bodies of the babies. It was then that Hellewise vowed to punish her sister for what she had done.
Maya reappeared one night and visited Theorn, a boy from her tribe. Maya told him that she loved him and wanted to make him immortal like her. Without warning, she ripped his throat out. She then proceeded to exchange blood with him.
Now a vampire and afraid of what he had become, Theorn ran away from the tribe. Confused and desperate to satisfy the burning hunger he felt, Theorn pounced on the first human he found – a little girl from a nearby village.
Sick with having done that, Theorn succumbed to the village hunters, who jabbed him with spears. They realised no matter how many times he was speared, this creature would not die. The fearful village people locked Theorn up until the shaman of the village could assess him.
Late that night, Hana of the Three Rivers, a girl from the village, took pity on Theorn and went to release him before the village hunters could kill him. Moved by the guilt she saw in his eyes, Hana told Theorn to escape before the village hunters came to check up on him. But before he could escape, the village hunters captured Theorn.
The hunters attacked Theorn repeatedly with their spears. In a quick rage, Theorn lashed out at everybody trying to hurt him. From one throat to another, Theorn attacked them all. In a daze, he looked down at his latest victim. Hana, the girl who had tried to save him, was lying limp in his arms. In his mind, Theorn could hear her shock as well as her forgiveness. He laid Hana to rest and ran to find some salvation.
Theorn approached Hellewise. He pleaded for her to help Hana. Hellewise was able to cast a spell on Hana so that she would be reborn in another life time. Theorn also asked Hellewise to put him to sleep until Hana was born again.
Thousands of years passed whilst Theorn slept. During this time, there was an epic duel between Maya and Hellewise, where Hellewise drove Maya and her vampires out of the village. When Theorn woke up, he was now Thierry Descouedres. Thierry saw that a new civilisation was in order, now with the Night World in existence.

MAYA AND HELLEWISE DUEL. One of the most interesting discussions concerning the Night World series is about the epic battle between Maya and Hellewise.
This battle is so significant to witches because Hellewise autonomously saved this race from obliteration when Maya and her vampires began victimising them.
Maya and Hellewise were the twin daughters of the first witch ever, Hecate. They were both very good witches but as opposite as night and day. You can read exactly what happened before the battle that led Maya and Hellewise to become eternal enemies, here.
After Maya became a vampire, she began proliferating her race. She attacked the tribe of witches that she and Hellewise ruled. Theorn – now Thierry Descouedres, a boy that Hellewise had always liked, became her first victim.
Hellewise realised she would have to stop her sister. The witches of the tribe wanted to fight the vampires but Hellewise knew they could never match the superiorities the vampires possessed. So instead, Maya and Hellewise fought one on one.
Details about the battle itself are not elaborated on but Hellewise apparently won the battle and drove Maya and the other vampires out of their village.
We know Maya survived long after the battle because she stalked Thierry and his soulmate Hannah Snow for the next twenty thousand years. But what became of Hellewise? Well, even though she won the battle, Hellewise endured too many wounds. She died of her injuries not long after the duel.
Hellewise Hearth Woman will always be remembered by her progeny as the warrior who saved witches from eradication by vampires.
