Description
No witch has ever been permitted a peaceful life.
It starts with crows tumbling out of the clouds and spectral voices on the wind that won’t leave her alone. Then there are those midnight visits to the graveyard that Odette can’t quite remember in the morning. Odette wants to forget magic, but her magic doesn’t want to forget her.
Odette soon discovers her worst nightmare is about to come true—the witchfinders are returning. And this time, the decree is clear: to burn the witch that got away.

Advance Praise
"Kiste’s writing style moves fluidly back and forth through time with lyrical language describing awful things. Readers will hang on every word, cringe and cheer through the action, and passionately root for Odette." (Library Journal, starred review)
"By the time you hurtle toward the epic conclusion, you will be wowed and left wanting more from this master storyteller and weaver of magic tales. Buy all of Gwendolyn Kiste’s books if you haven’t already. As well, award jurors and influencers should take note, because this book deserves to take home all of the prizes." (Cemetery Dance)
"[Kiste} effectively creates an intense quasi-Jacobean world where witchfinders rule, and ably depicts a culture of fear, despair, and wonder among the persecuted witches. Recommended for historical fantasy fans and general readers alike." (Booklist)
"Kiste’s vivid descriptions bring Odette’s desperate story to life. This grim tale of magic and resilience is sure to please." (Publishers Weekly)
