An enthralling tale of modern witch Bess Hawksmith, a
fiercely independent woman desperate to escape her cursed
history who must confront the evil which has haunted her
for centuries My name is Elizabeth Anne Hawksmith, and my
age is three hundred and eighty-four years. If you will
listen, I will tell you a tale of witches. A tale of magic
and love and loss. A story of how simple ignorance breeds
fear, and how deadly that fear can be. Let me tell you
what it means to be a witch. In the spring of 1628, the
Witchfinder of Wessex finds himself a true Witch. As Bess
Hawksmith watches her mother swing from the Hanging Tree
she knows that only one man can save her from the same
fate: the Warlock Gideon Masters. Secluded at his cottage,
Gideon instructs Bess, awakening formidable powers she
didn’t know she had. She couldn’t have foreseen that even
now, centuries later, he would be hunting her across time,
determined to claim payment for saving her life.In present-
day England, Elizabeth has built a quiet life. She has
spent the centuries in solitude, moving from place to
place, surviving plagues, wars, and the heartbreak that
comes with immortality. Her loneliness comes to an abrupt
end when she is befriended by a teenage girl called Tegan.
Against her better judgment, Elizabeth opens her heart to
Tegan and begins teaching her the ways of the Hedge Witch.
But will she be able to stand against Gideon—who will stop
at nothing to reclaim her soul—in order to protect the girl
who has become the daughter she never had?
