The Witch Hunter’s Lie
Witches burned. A village in fear. Secrets buried in ash.
When veteran Witch Hunter Elijah Lynton arrives in the remote village of Mullingen, he expects a simple theft investigation. Instead, he finds a smouldering pyre and a stranger wearing the seal of his Order.
Something is wrong.
Mullingen is hiding more than stolen heirlooms. The pyre was meant to cleanse the village—but it burned something innocent instead.
As Elijah hunts for answers, he begins to suspect the greatest heresy lies within his own faith.
Not everyone who claims the light stands in it.

This novelette read like the perfect start to a series that I am interested in following. Im am interested in seeing either more back story or growing from both Elijah and Thrazo. Great job Jenn!

Quick, intriguing, taste of what could be an exciting series. This short story is easily read in under an hour. While it is short it provides great character depth and world building. Bravo, J.L. Coulbeck!
Elijah Lynton is a troubled witch hunter from the Order of Dion. Thrazo is Elijah’s right-hand man, or Orc to be exact. Both are steadfast in his convictions.
I am heading off to dive into the second installment, The Witch Hunter’s Oath. I need to learn more about the Six Silences of Dion!
