In seventeenth-century Scotland, saying the wrong thing can lead to banishment--or
worse. Accused of being a witch, sixteen-year-old Maggie Blair is sentenced to be
hanged. She escapes, but instead of finding shelter with her principled, patriotic uncle,
she brings disaster to his door.
Betrayed by one of her own accusers, Maggie must try to save her uncle and his
family from the king's men, even if she has to risk her own life in the process.
