The ethereal mists that shroud Lucy Finnley's vision and the unsettling whispers carried by the wind leave her compelled to seek refuge within her new home, the Jack Rabbit Inn, nestled upon the weather-beaten high moor. Stepping across its threshold, she feels the weight of its storied past, where legends intertwine with the malevolent spirits lurking within its walls. Yet for Lucy, it offers a sanctuary from the turmoil gripping the world beyond.
Sheltering in the valley below is the village of Hawks Rise on the Moor, where harboured secrets are veiled beneath a facade of respectability. Attendance at the Sunday sermons delivered by the uncompromising Vicar is mandatory, his words ringing with condemnation against an ancient tribe's perceived evils.
In a narrative that slips seamlessly back in time, Henry Mulberry, heir to Mulberry Hall, navigates the challenges of stewarding vast lands and managing tenants, contending with Irish squatters, quarries, and mines. However, his familial duties overshadow any personal pursuits, with his attention divided amongst his wayward brother Oscar, his ailing father George, and the enigmatic Abbott Mathew.
As tensions escalate and past and future collide, the age-old question resurfaces: Who will prevail-the witches who seek solace in the moor's depths or the relentless witchfinders determined to unearth them? Amidst the swirling mists of fate, the answer remains shrouded in uncertainty.
