Burn the witch synopsis
Historically, 72% of deaths in London are due to dragons, fantastic creatures invisible to most of the population. While unknown to many, some characters have faced these creatures.
Only reverse Londoners living on the other side of London can see the dragons. Even so, only a few become qualified enough to become witches or wizards who make direct contact with them.
The protagonists of the story are Noel Niihashi and Ninny Spangcole. They are protection agents for Wing Bind, an organization that protects and manages kites. Your mission is to protect and manage the dragons in London on behalf of their people.
