Book Synopsis
A deeply compelling historical horror novel following a woman accused of being a witch who must use her voice to fight for her life--and the truth--from the acclaimed author of The Book of Witching Innsbruck, 1485. Helena Scheuberin should be doing what every other young wife is doing: keeping house, supporting her husband, and bearing his children, but as an outspoken, strong woman, she sometimes has difficulty fitting in. Then she draws the unwanted attention of a malign priest who is just starting his campaign to root out "witches" from among the women of her town, and when her husband's footman dies, she finds herself accused not only of murder but of witchcraft. Helena must find the courage to risk her life and the lives of others by standing up to a man determined to paint her as the most wicked of all.... Based on the incredible true story of a woman who challenged a man who went on to become one of Europe's most notorious and cruel witchfinders, this novel offers a jewel-bright portrait of female power.About the Author
