A dark English folktale of betrayal, innocence, and a mother's curse that outlives her flesh.
In a quiet hamlet in the heart of England, fear takes root when rumours of witchcraft sweep through the countryside.
May Cooper, a widowed mother of three sons, becomes the village's perfect scapegoat, a woman alone, proud, and whispered to possess the old knowledge. When a witch hunter arrives, the villagers turn against her.
But May's sons, devoted, brave, and innocent, confess to the witchcraft themselves, choosing fire over watching their mother burn.
Their sacrifice ends the hunt, but not the evil that started it. As the smoke clears, May gathers their ashes and buries them beneath an oak tree, cursing the line of the man who betrayed her.
And as the wind stirs through the branches, something ancient wakes beneath the soil...
The Curse of May Cooper is a chilling Gothic folktale steeped in English superstition and sorrow. Perfect for readers who love haunting historical fiction, witch trial stories, and timeless tales of love and vengeance.
