September 1597. Glasgow, Scotland. The Witch Hunts have begun. Niall Ciaran, a boy of seventeen, stands amidst the mob as they follow the trail of a known witch. What happens when you know the one you are going to burn? Do you follow along with the demands of the people and turn the witch over to the mob? Or does friendship rule over all of that? What does one do when the will of the people is that the witch will burn?
