Elisha barber

As a child, Elisha witnessed the burning of a witch outside of London, and saw her transformed into an angel at the moment of her death. Hoping that the next time he might have the chance to bind an angel's wounds, he became a barber surgeon, at the lowest ranks of the medical profession. After a family catastrophe, Elisha is accused of murder and accepts the position of battle surgeon as a way out. He soon discovers he has an affinity for magic, drawn into the world of sorcery by a beautiful young witch who reminds him of the angel he saw burn. At the mercy of his capricious superiors, Elisha must attempt to unravel conspiracies both magical and mundane, as well as come to terms with his own disturbing new abilities.
