Publisher's summary

The truth can be dangerous in the wrong hands....

1661, North Berwick, Scotland.

One stormy night, healer Honor Seton and her daughter, Alice, are summoned to save the town lord's wife—but they're too late. A vengeful crusade against the Seton women leads to whispers of witchcraft all over town. Honor hopes her connections can protect them from unproven rumours and dangerous accusations—but is the truth finally catching up with them?

Present day, North Berwick, Scotland.

After an explosive scandal lands her husband in prison, Tess Blyth flees Edinburgh to start afresh in Thistle Cottage. As she hides from the media’s unforgiving glare, Tess is intrigued by the shadowy stories of witchcraft surrounding the women who lived in the cottage centuries ago. But she quickly discovers modern-day witch hunts can be just as vicious: someone in town knows her secret—and they won’t let Tess forget it....

A hauntingly compelling timeslip novel from the author of The Girl in the Picture, perfect for fans of The Forgotten Village and The Witchfinder’s Sister.

Predictable but enjoyable

Although the author doesn't quite have an ear for historical conversation, she captures the essence of the characters well, especially the contemporary ones! Nice parallel plot lines. Kind of a predictable ending, but overall I enjoyed it. The 2 narrators really bring the 4 main characters to life!
