Penny Albright has burned at the stake under the Warden and his Gilded Army night after night. He means to destroy magic and seal the veil between Life and Death forever and he has every tool he needs to do it. The Warden has stolen everything that Penny cares about- her friends, family, lovers, and now, even her freewill will be sacrificed if she fails to defeat the Warden and his evil lust for immortality once and for all. A resistance movement has been brewing in the shadows of Life and when Penny takes her place at the helm, she will be thrust into the realm of Death once again.

Penny Albright is a daughter of the thorn coven, forced to patrol the veil between the realms of Life and Death. Each night, one thorn witch - and only one - must cross the veil by burning at the stake. Each morning, that witch draws on their magic to return. Failure to follow the rules risks the veil and risks them all. But one morning, Penny's favourite sister Ella doesn't return. And that night, determined to find her, Penny breaks the rules. She burns in secret. And she discovers that all isn't as it seems in Life or Death.
