Burned three people inside out

“Dangerous children, most of them,” I said. “Kids who no one ever taught or trained or told about the Laws of Magic.” I nodded toward the woman. “That one’s name is Hannah Ascher. She was on the run longer than any other warlock on recent record. She’s supposed to have died in a fire in . . . Australia, I think, about six years ago.”
“You drowned once. How much pressure did the Council put on you after that?”
“Good point,” I said.
“What did she do?” Karrin asked.
“Originally? Ascher burned three men to death from the inside out,” I said.
“Jesus.”
“Killed one Warden, back before my time. She’s put three more in the hospital over the years.”
“Wizards trained to hunt rogue wizards, and she took them out?”
“Pretty much. Probably why she doesn’t look worried about walking in there right now.”
