aron August of Holde, Anna's father, is fourth in line to the throne. Baron Nicolai of Rylling, the man whom she is marrying, third. She has her eyes firmly set on the end goal, which is to reign as Queen of Denmark - a position she feels is so close, the board only needs a little shuffle to get her there. And she will not yield or falter until she has claimed her crown and made her future husband King.
The witch hunts eating their way through 17th century Europe like a wildfire assist her patient climb up the ladder of Danish nobility. Along with her high-ranking Navy fiancé, she is helping in the persecution of witches, making women and men stand trial to aid her own ambitions, trying to burn her way to Henriette Berg-Knutholm, a countess she suspects must be practicing witchcraft, or she would not be where she currently is.
What Anna discovers is not only that she is correct about the countess, but that witchcraft might be the only available path to the throne for her. For anyone.
