1620. The Haweyorth family ekes out a miserable existence in a shabby shack near a fishing village. The eldest daughter, Sarah, has already received a devilish mark and knows that she must repeat the fate of her mother-witch. And it’s impossible to refuse the powers granted to her. All Sarah wants is to spare her little sister from a similar fate.
When Sarah meets Daniel, the quiet and lonely son of a farmer, hope for a new life is born in her soul. But after the appointment of a new magistrate, the villagers turn their attention to the Haweyorth family—and Daniel begins to wonder whether the feelings Sarah awakens in him are real, or if it’s just magic.
