Running from the hunt. Hiding amongst the dead. A young witch hastily decrypts a forbidden tome looking for answers: a way to rid herself of hunger—a way to avoid interacting with her death-wishers.
She soon finds out a hasty decryption is often a failed one as she becomes more drawn to the people who want her burned alive.
A troubled traveler offers an escape. She’s drawn to his lips; believes every word he says. They’re desperate and lonely enough to fall for each other. But kindness is only a ruse. Can a friendship really bloom amid a witch hunt?
