Description
Jane Chandler's life as an apprentice healer seems sheltered from the troubles of the wider world. However, her quiet existence is soon disrupted by the arrival of John Sharpe, who has been driven to seek answers in the dark arts after years of personal tragedy. As the witchfinder movement gains momentum, Jane and John find themselves on opposite sides of a devastating conflict. The story of Widdershins is one of persecution, tragedy, and the struggle for survival in a time when fear and superstition ruled. Based on the little-known Newcastle witch trials, where fifteen women and one man were hanged for witchcraft on a single day in August 1650, this historical fiction novel sheds light on a dark period in history.
