Penny, a daughter of the thorn coven, is tasked with patrolling the veil between the realms of life and death. Every night, one thorn witch must sacrifice themselves by burning at the stake, drawing on their magic to return the following morning. Failure to adhere to these rules imperils the veil and jeopardizes the safety of all.

However, on a fateful morning, Penny's beloved sister, Ella, fails to return. Driven by an unyielding desire to find her, Penny ventures beyond the boundaries of the rules. She burns in secret, unraveling the intricate web of lies and secrets that lie within the realms of life and death.

Her journey takes her to Malin, a devastating lord shrouded in mystery, to Alice, a enigmatic captive prophet, and to a simmering rebellion hiding in the shadows beneath the city. As Penny's world teeters on the brink of collapse, she confronts a devastating choice. The fate of all magic hangs in the balance, and it all hinges on the actions of one witch and the spark of rebellion that ignites within her.
