Description
Germany, December 21, 1601.
In the city of Offenburg, people gather in the square in anticipation of an execution. Elza Guinner, the baker’s wife, has been found guilty of witchcraft, and now she faces a bonfire. But what will happen to her seven-year-old daughter, because it was the daughter’s testimony that led to Elza’s conviction? Will she be sent to the fire too?
Not if Christoph Wagner has noticed her—Faust’s student, a sorcerer who sold his soul to the devil. He passionately wants to pass on to someone the precious knowledge of his teacher. And who would be better suited for this than a girl everyone has turned away from—a minor witch and a criminal who betrayed her own mother?
A new standalone novel by Una Hart, continuing to unfold the universe of the book “When the Dead Sing.”
Inquisition, witches, bonfires—and real demons who interfere in human affairs.
Una Hart, with beguiling meticulousness and authenticity, writes the everyday life of early 17th-century Europe, showing it from an unexpected angle, where magic and bargains with dark powers are not fairy tales or neighbors’ inventions, but reality.
The reader will meet not only characters familiar from “When the Dead Sing,” but also Doctor Faust himself, who turns to his student for the last time…
