Summary:
In the spring of 1628, the witchfinder of Wessex finds himself a true witch. As Bess Hawksmith watches her mother swing from the Hanging Tree, she knows that only one man can save her from the same fate: the warlock Gideon Masters. Secluded at his cottage, Gideon instructs Bess, awakening formidable powers she didn't know she had. She couldn't have foreseen that even now, centuries later, he would be hunting her across time, determined to claim payment for saving her life.
In present-day England, Elizabeth has built a quiet life. She has spent the centuries in solitude, surviving plagues, wars, and the heartbreak that comes with immortality. Her loneliness comes to an abrupt end when she is befriended by a teenage girl called Tegan. Against her better judgement, Elizabeth opens her heart to Tegan. But will she be able to stand against Gideon--who will stop at nothing to reclaim her soul--in order to protect the girl who has become the daughter she never had?
My Thoughts:
This was such an interesting read. Bess's past was so heartbreaking yet I still want to know more.
It was a bit confusing, jumping from past to present for pretty much the whole book.
I would have loved to know more about Gideon's past and why he turned out to be the 'evil force' in this novel.
The book kept me hooked from the first page and I would definitely recommend giving this book a try, especially if you like historical fiction and fantasy.
My Rating: 5 stars
