After you've dispatched The Leech, you will return to Erke at the docks.

Learn about the consequences for either burning the Leechbook or keeping it for yourself below.

Burn the Leechbook:

Eivor will throw the book into the fire right away, and both the protagonist as well as Erke will agree it is "not worth its weight in blood".

Keep the Leechbook: 

Eivor will explain how burning the Leechbook will discard the knowledge so many people had to die for. Deciding to keep it will preserve the cures found by the Order member. If you decide to keep the Leechbook, you can put the nasty book on the bench at the end of your bed in your settlement room. It acts as a reminder of your decision.
