Cornwall, 1650. Jan Tregagle has committed terrible crimes in his lifetime, but he does it all for his Lord Robartes. No one understands the bond they share - not even Lord Robartes himself. When Lord Robartes is banished to London, it is Tregagle’s duty as Steward to look after the Estate and his Lord’s family.

And Tregagle is desperate to show his devotion. Such an opportunity appears in the form of Anne Jefferies, a woman said to possess God-given powers, newly released from Gaol due to unsubstantial evidence of witchcraft. Tregagle imprisons Anne in the cellars under the Estate, inflicting horrific torture designed to break Anne’s spirit and prove her claims false.

But strange occurrences begin around the Estate: A dark presence watches from shadowed corners, mutilated livestock pepper the grounds. As Tregagle’s obsession with Anne grows, so too does her power over him. The possibility of escape is determined by one question alone — which one of them will outlast the other?

Rich in historical detail, myth, suspicion, and visceral terror, this is perfect for fans of The Manningtree Witches by A.K. Blakemore and Starve Acre by Andrew Michael Hurley.
