Tinderspark (The Burning Times) (Volume 1)

"There is no reward for goodness in this world, nothing but cold steel teeth and scourging fire for all of us - and it's coming for you now!" In a single evening, the life of Quality Durrand changes forever. She's kidnapped from her loving family and taken to live deep in the forest with the witches. A series of events unfolds that pits her against fanatic priests and cruel warlords. The daughter of a gunsmith, Quality has a unique talent for working with the explosive black powder. Armed with pistols, she and her Hexen friends set out to find five men - the five men whose deaths may bring about an end to the persecution of Hexen everywhere, and the birth of a new, better world. This is the first novel in the Burning Times series, a historical fantasy set during the 1620s, the years of the Witch Trials and the Thirty Years War.
