Sunwise: Newcastle witch trials historical fiction - Hardcover

by Helen Steadman (Author)

There is a madness come upon England of late.

When Jane's lover, Tom, returns from the navy to find her unhappily married to his betrayer, Jane is caught in an impossible situation.

Still reeling from the loss of her mother at the hands of the witchfinder, Jane has no choice but to continue her dangerous work as a healer while keeping her young daughter safe.

But as Tom searches for a way for him and Jane to be together, the witchfinder is still at large. Filled with vengeance, the witchfinder will stop at nothing in his quest to rid England of the scourge of witchcraft.

Sunwise tells the story of one woman's struggle for survival in a hostile and superstitious world.

The Newcastle Witch Trials Trilogy was inspired by the little-known 1650 trials, where fifteen women and one man were hanged for witchcraft on a single day.
