Based on a true story of the first witchcraft trial in Ireland,nbsp;The Burning Timenbsp;is the riveting tale of one extraordinary noblewoman, Lady Alyce Kyteler and her fight for a country's soul.
When the Catholic Church brings the Inquisition to Ireland, Lady Alyce Kyteler refuses to grant them power over her lands or her people, and refuses to stop the practice of The Old Religion. Declared a dangerous heretic by the Pope's emissary, Lady Alyce determines to fight back. Against the penalty of being burned at the stake, she risks all to protect her people, her faith, and her beloved Ireland.
The Burning Timenbsp;is a vivid account of an astonishing but little-known historic figure and a gripping tale of bravery, treachery, guile, and redemption.
