Early 18th century, Loth, Scotland. A time fraught with fear, as witch trials subdued for years return.
In Elspeth's community, women were often the target of these accusations. Now twelve, Elspeth learns that she is a witch — like her mother — and with it comes a life that will bring them great loss.
Journeying to the Highlands, they follow an omen through a path of dark visions and danger. Soon, Elspeth will need to prove her worth in battles both internal and external.
But in a world dictated by fear, can she win the biggest conflict she has ever faced, and take back what she thought was lost forever?
