A Handful of Souls Chapters 15 and 16


Still on a bit of a roll with completing two more chapters of 'A Handful of Souls', a tale of love, loss, and necromancy.

After the discovery of her companions' unlife, Cat is accused by the people of Toenin to be a witch of the foulest order, immediately sentenced to burn at the stake.

Enduring humiliation, condemnation, and savage beatings at the hands of a mob, the poor girl is lashed to a log with tinder set all about her. Amidst wild cheers and claims to be doing the will of the Gods, Cat's pyre is set a blaze.

But the evil within the ring has not been sitting idle. Uninterested in seeing it's grand plans halted by unruly peasants, it's vile magic has been set to purpose. And even over the mob's hoots, shouts, and hateful slurs, screams of terror erupt.
