The Witching Time

A compelling tale of witchcraft, friendship and divided loyalties! Perfect for fans of Mary Stewart, Fay Weldon and Barbara Pym. Is Imogen strong enough to ward off the dark forces that threaten to engulf her?

Northern England, 1994.

Newly widowed and emotionally fragile, Imogen Lacey feels smothered by her bossy friend Alice when she visits her home in the northern dales.

But intrigue draws her towards the nearby village of Haraldstone. Whispers of witchcraft surround its ancient stone circle, yet it exerts an irresistible pull on Imogen.

Tired of letting others control her, she sets up a hat shop in Haraldstone - and scandalises Alice by befriending the local coven of white witches.

Meanwhile, charming Philip Gregory is keen to stake a claim on Imogen ... but can she trust him?

Soon Imogen is branded a witch herself, and as tensions in the community start to reach boiling point, the locals are about to discover that true evil walks among them...

Set in 1990s northern England, The Witching Time is a story of loyalty and healing with a dark supernatural twist.
