Witherstone is a sinister tale of mysterious enemies, witchcraft and murder…
In Witherstone, Hephzibah Creswell – known as Eppie to family and friends – discovers that she and her family have a mysterious and deadly enemy. When the Plague sweeps through her small English village, she acts to try to save her sister’s life, but her actions unleash devastating consequences for her whole family.
A gripping tale of mysterious enemies with murderous intentions, Witherstone is set in the years following the English Civil Wars in a society riddled with social inequality, religious turmoil and fears of witchcraft, and where a girl is fighting to save her family.
Witherstone will be published by exciting North West indie publishing house UCLan Publishing in 2019.
