The book belongs to her. It had been kept in the basement of the church, until some bright fellow decided to retrieve it and attach it to her scaffold. She is Ivga Benryk of Ponkert, the werewolf’s daughter, and she has been bound like this to pass the night, waiting to be burned in the morning.
Does she get rescued? Ah! Now, you wouldn’t want me to spoil the ending, would you?
