1612 saw one of the largest and well-documented witch hunts in England. To the people of Pendle, Demdike is a name both scorned and feared. Matriarch or monster, they only see an impoverished hag.

At her age, Demdike knows she should be long in her grave, but with mouths to feed she hasn't the luxury of rest. Trained in the cunning arts, she uses her craft to help others, but not all look favourably on her gift.

When the Justice of the Peace arrives in Pendle, Demdike soon realises the whispers of witches are spreading, and they're focused on her. Between herself and her long-time frenemy "Chattox" can the two wise women ensure their bloodlines survive? Even if they know they won't.

This audiobook brought the 1612 Pendle witch hunt to life in such a gripping way that I couldn't pause it once I started. The story follows Demdike, an aging wise woman using her cunning craft to survive and feed her family amid growing fear and suspicion in her village. I loved the vivid details that placed me right there in her world. It captures the tension between the two rival wise women, the weight of religious judgment, and the fierce drive to protect their bloodlines. A powerful listen full of folklore, strong female resilience, and historical depth. Highly recommended if you enjoy immersive witchcraft tales.

Such a great listen!
