Elizabeth Anne Hawksmith, who is three hundred and eighty-four years old, is my name. Since a new colony requests a fresh diary, this Book of Shadows got underway.
The Witchfinder of Wessex discovers that he is a real Witch in the spring of 1628. Bess Hawksmith believes that only one man—the Warlock Gideon Masters and his Book of Shadows—can save her from suffering the same fate at the hands of the frightened crowd as she watches her mother hang from the Hanging Tree. Gideon teaches Bess the Craft in the privacy of his cabin in the woods, giving her incredible abilities she was unaware she had and rendering her immortal. She had no idea that decades later, he would be pursuing her across time, demanding recompense for having saved her life.
Elizabeth has established a peaceful existence for herself in modern-day England by caring for her garden and selling oils and herbs at the neighborhood farmers' market. But when Tegan, a young girl, begins hanging about, her seclusion comes to an abrupt end. Elizabeth starts teaching Tegan the ways of the Hedge Witch against her better judgment, reawakening memories and monsters she had long since forgotten.
The Witch's Daughter is a unique and captivating perspective on the enchanting but perilous realm of Witches, blending elements of historical romance and contemporary fantasy. The fiercely independent heroine who endures battles, plagues, and the heartache that comes with immortality in order to stay loyal to herself and defend the protégé she grows to love will live in the memories of readers for a very long time.
