"A fantastic page-turner." --Historical Novels Review
Based on a true story of the first witchcraft trial in Ireland, The Burning Time 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 Time is a vivid account of an astonishing but little-known historic figure and a gripping tale of bravery, treachery, guile, and redemption.
An award-winning poet, novelist, journalist and editor, Robin Morgan has published over 20 books, including the now-classic anthology Sisterhood is Powerful. One of the founders of contemporary U.S. feminism, she has been a leader in the international Women's Movement for over 30 years.

This novel focuses on a real woman - Lady Alyce Kyteler, who was accused of witchcraft in medieval Ireland - and builds a compelling story. Alyce is a confident woman who verbally duels with Church officials and is prepared to go further still to defend the people in her life. She's a refreshing character to have in a novel set during the Middle Ages and this helped make this book a quick read for me. While I've a few questions about some historical points, I really liked this novel overall and would highly recommend it. ( )
This is one of the best books I have read in a long while. Draws you in from the very beginning. A fiction story, but it has a lot of facts from the witch trials, and is completely fascinating and absorbing. It centers on strong educated intelligent females, and the way the world has reacted to such, from long ago, and I believe now still. Fantastic. ( )

In her name and to her honour, to endure for so long as stories are remembered or the magick of ink on parchment remains, these words I set down in my own write, and mark with my Seal, time out of mind by Wiccan reckoning, in the year Christians number 1402.
