It turns out to be Bowen, who strips the cloak from her because it's slowing them down and sees through part of the Glamour and thinks she tricking him. This leads him to trap her and some others in a Tomb. When he lets them out her Glamour is gone and he falls for her, proving the precautions to have been useless the whole time.

Mystical mercenaries that sell their spells. A lot of the Lore resent that they never do anything without reference to the almighty dollar, but, as one of the witches puts it, they learned long ago that witches that lived in nice houses and had the ear of the king got [[BurnTheWitch burned to death]] a lot less often. Witches are born, not made, and are immortal.
