'A gripping gothic read' Sarah Hall, Guardian
'So seductive ... I was hooked' Independent
The Forest of Pendle used to be a hunting ground, but some say that the hill is the hunter - alive in its black-and-green coat cropped like an animal pelt.
Good Friday, 1612. Two notorious witches await trial and certain death in Lancaster Castle, whilst a small group gathers in secret protest. Into this group the self-made Alice Nutter stakes her claim and swears to fight against the rule of fear. But what is Alice's connection to these witches? What is magic if not power, and what will happen to the women who possess it?

I had some serious difficulties to follow the plot in the beginning, but it still gripped me firmly and brutally with fangs made of short, precise sentences. Very homogenic, fascinating, strange, beautiful and fear-inspiring. Wild, mysterious and sharp, like a raven with a bloody beak. Just not quite as cheesy as I just said that.
