Burn The Witch Synopsis

Historically, 72% of the deaths in London have been linked to dragons, fantastical beings invisible to most people. Although unknown to most, some people have encountered these dragons. Only reverse Londoners living on the hidden “reverse” side of London can see the dragons. Even then, only a select few qualify as witches or wizards to come into direct contact with them.

The protagonists of the story are the witch duo Noel Niihashi and Ninny Spangcole. They are protection officers for Wing Bind (WB), an organization for the conservation and management of dragons. Their mission is to protect and control the dragons of London on behalf of the population.
