The Witching Hour

Elizabeth Laird

About the book

In seventeenth-century Scotland, everyone knows the devil is real.

Everyone knows that witches exist.

Everyone knows that saying the wrong thing can get you hanged . . .

When fourteen-year-old Maggie’s grandmother is accused of witchcraft, Maggie has to run for her life. With English soldiers on the march, nowhere is safe – certainly not Ladymuir, where her uncle is determined to defy the king. And wherever Maggie goes, disaster follows . . .

A gripping historical novel about a young girl’s journey through the Killing Time.
