Burning Issy

Burning Issy

by Melvin Burgess (Author)

Synopsis

In this powerful novel set in England in the age of witch hunts, Issy doesn't know who she is or where she comes from. Every night she dreams of burning in a fire and at the heart of the flames is a face she dare not look at. Fear and superstition are everywhere and life is dangerous for Issy as she runs from the Witch-finder, from the evil hag who wants her and from those she loves - and maybe from her own true nature.
