The Witch They Burned – Kobo eBook

The man who lit Isabella Veylan’s pyre is the reason she’s alive.

When plague ravages Vilsang, the Holy Inquisition blames Isabella, a healer whose gifts it calls forbidden. Cassian Rook, the city’s youngest Grand Inquisitor and the man she loves, carries out the sentence himself.

A year later, Isabella claws her way out of an unmarked grave with stronger magic than she ever wielded in life. She wants the names of everyone who sent her to the stake. Cassian can help her find them, but he’s hiding what he promised the Faceless One to bring her back.

As Isabella follows the evidence beneath the city’s cathedral, she finds that her trial was part of a secret the Inquisition has been burning people to keep for four centuries. To expose it, she’ll have to work with the man she came back to kill, while the bargain that saved her is slowly killing him.
