The Book of Witching

Four hundred years separate them. One book binds them. Orkney 2024 : a terrible discovery on an idyllic beach in Fynhallow Bay: a teenage boy has been burned to death, a girl is missing, and another girl, Erin, is in hospital and remembers just one thing - she is Nyx. Her mother, Clem, waits by her bed, desperate to bring her daughter back to reality. Orkney 1594: accused of witchcraft, Alison Balfour awaits trial. The punishment? Death by burning. Separated by four hundred years but united by the ancient clan of magic-wielders, the Triskele, two women stand imperiled. Can they uncover a centuries-old secret of witchcraft that may just be the key to saving Erin? And will Fynhallow Bay give up its secrets before someone else dies?
