Summer 1685
Following an uprising against King James II, the country is once again torn in two and news of a bloody vendetta is rife. Men from the rebel army are being plucked from their hiding places across the West country and rumour has it that the King's most formidable judge will be leading the trials: the Lord Chief Justice Jeffreys.
Kateryn Fox works with her grandmother at an apothecary shop in Winchester. She is facing troubles of her own when the King's legal procession arrives for the first of the assizes courts where those who supported the rebellion will face trial. Her husband, Gideon, has not returned from a business trip and Kat fears he may have somehow become caught up in the aftermath of the rebellion. Bequeathed an obsidian necklace capable of bringing together, future, past and present, she attempts to use its power to search for Gideon. But the spirit guides bring her warnings of 'The Hanging Judge' and the harrowing revenge that he will reap.
When she is approached by a gentleman for a remedy to ease the ailments Judge Jeffreys suffers, she finds herself unwittingly pulled into service as his personal apothecary. It is a position that brings great power, influence and danger - particularly for a cunning woman who is an abandoned wife.
Present day
Ruth Meadows is questioning her skills as a healer and psychic when an enigmatic and handsome stranger arrives on her doorstep carrying a necklace that he believes is haunted and her gift is reawakened.
There appear to be entities attached to the necklace and Ruth is afraid, but she far more fears the dark secret that her new client appears to be keeping from her. Through her connection to the women who have been gifted the necklace, Ruth embarks on a dangerous psychic journey that she soon realises could make or alter history.”
