The Book of Witching
By C.J. Cooke
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?
