In this spellbinding historical novel, Samuel Fleming grapples with remorse and uncertainty as he questions the fates of Joan Flower and her daughters, condemned as witches. Were they truly guilty, or was there a grave miscarriage of justice? Samuel’s torment takes a surreal turn when he encounters the spirit of Joan Flower herself, revealing her tragic existence between Heaven and Hell, forever wandering the earth.
Joan unfolds a chilling tale of their descent into witchcraft, participating in unholy orgies at the witches’ sabbath, making pacts with the Devil, casting malevolent spells on their foes, and ultimately facing the horrors of trial and execution. As Samuel listens, he embarks on a desperate quest to redeem Joan’s tormented soul. But the stakes are far higher than he could have imagined.
As the witch’s haunting narrative unfolds, Samuel discovers that her soul is not the only one in peril. Should he fail in his quest for redemption, he risks sharing her grim fate in the depths of Hell.
