Description

A dark history lingers in the parish of Manningtree and Mistley, where the witchfinder's brutal regime left a lasting impact. In 1644, the torture of women, including Liza the herbalist, still casts a shadow over the area. Now, a century later, Emma Dickson finds herself drawn to the old cottage, now her home, where visions of the past threaten to consume her. As Halloween approaches, Emma's grip on reality begins to slip, and she turns to the local rector for help. But he too is under the influence of a mysterious force, one that seems to be drawing them both deeper into the heart of the darkness. Barbara Erskine's atmospheric and enthralling tale weaves a spell of suspense and romance, drawing the reader into a world of ancient magic and forbidden love.
