In medieval times, the fear of witchcraft spread throughout Europe, resulting in brutal persecution and the execution of countless innocent women. The idea of witches practicing dark magic and causing harm to others, particularly through spells and curses, ignited hysteria among the population. This led to a widespread belief that the only way to rid society of this evil was to incinerate the witch. Accusations of witchcraft were often made without evidence or reason, fueled by superstition and fear. Rumors and gossip formed the basis for these allegations, creating an atmosphere of suspicion and paranoia. Once accused, it was nearly impossible for a woman to prove her innocence, as any action or word could be interpreted as further evidence of her involvement in witchcraft.

Once accused, it was nearly impossible for a woman to prove her innocence, as any action or word could be interpreted as further evidence of her involvement in witchcraft. The methods used to determine guilt were often cruel and inhumane. The accused were subjected to various forms of torture, such as the infamous water test or the pricking of a witch's mark.

Synopsis
In this world, there is a “FRONT” side and a “REVERSE” side.
Historically 72% of all the deaths in London are related to dragons, fantastical beings invisible to the majority of the people. While unknown to most, some people have been standing up to these dragons.
Only inhabitants of Reverse London who live in the hidden “reverse” side of London can see the dragons. Even then, only a selected few become qualified enough as witches or wizards to make direct contact with them.
The protagonists of the story are witch duo Noel Niihashi and Ninny Spangcole. They are protection agents for Wing Bind (WB), an organization for dragon conservation and management. Their mission is to protect and manage the dragons within London on behalf of the people.

These practices were believed to reveal signs of witchcraft, and any refusal to confess was seen as confirmation of guilt. For those unfortunate enough to be found guilty, death was almost certain. In many cases, the preferred method of execution was burning at the stake. This brutal act served not only as a punishment but also as a spectacle for the public. It was believed that by destroying the witch's physical body, her soul would also be eradicated. The execution of witches was not limited to any particular country or region. The witch trials took place across Europe, with an estimated 100,000 individuals, mostly women, being executed between the 15th and 18th centuries. Innocent lives were lost as a result of mass hysteria and a deeply ingrained belief in witchcraft. Thankfully, as society evolved and rationality prevailed, the persecution of witches came to an end. The Enlightenment and advances in scientific thinking helped debunk many of the superstitions and myths surrounding witches. Today, the witch trials serve as a dark reminder of the dangers of mass hysteria and the importance of critical thinking..
