Description
Every five years, someone burns.
Guilty or innocent, it doesn't matter.
As long as the people are kept in check.
Annie wants a life that is quiet and ordinary. She teaches literature, keeps her head down, and hides the fact that she is a witch in a town plagued by twenty-five years of so-called accidents. Survival depends on blending in, believing the right story, and never standing out.
But when a new teacher arrives at her school, with the cycle closing in again, silence is no longer enough. Drawn into a connection she knows she shouldn't trust, Annie finds herself risking everything she's built in exchange for something she was taught never to do: trust men.
In this town, the fires are not about justice. They are about control.
As the fifth fire approaches, Annie must navigate a world where truth is negotiable, desire is perilous, and attachment can be fatal. Loving the wrong person may just mean being chosen for the pyre.
The Girl on the Pyre: The Fifth Fire is a dark romance thriller about corruption, forbidden desire, and the cost of surviving in a world where what looks just may be utterly corrupt, and what is called rotten may be the only thing worth saving.
