They begin their revenge with the inquisitor, Atherton. Selendrile’s cool attitude and sly movements unnerve Alys, but she has no choice but to work with the dragon (or die I suppose). Alys is distrustful of the dragon, and they hold many things back from one another. The dragon arrives and they decide to work together rather than give the dragon indigestion. Once she is left alone, the brave Alys begins to sob, and finally resolves to seek revenge. She awaits her death at the dragon stake…don’t worry the book has lost of pages left so she doesn’t die here! PLOT SPOILERS AHEAD! They take Alys to a hillside and tie her to a stake to offer her up to the dragon (who we later find out is PLOT SPOILER…Selendrile). The inquisitor, Atherton, is a bully and clearly a greedy, rotten guy. Her father dies of a heart attack during her inquisition: leaving her all alone. Her betrayer, Gower the wheelwright is a fairly important character. The book begins with Alys (the main character) being accussed (falsely of course) of witch-craft.
