What to expect
The Village of Bideford, 1682
A woman rises from a shipwreck with nothing but a silk shift, a stolen name, and a necklace worth a fortune. She is taken in by three outcasts the town calls witches—an old beggar woman who laughs at The Devil, a foul-mouthed widow, and gentle Mary.
But fear is rising. A witchfinder has arrived. And the woman from the sea carries secrets darker than any spell…
A blazing story of survival, sisterhood, and fear – and of the women who refused, gloriously, to be silenced.
