1670s Scotland. In a remote parish schooled in the finding of witches, Agnes Dun has committed the one unforgivable sin: she was never chosen. Unmarried, unclaimed, a house no one enters - until a warmth comes to her in the dark that asks nothing, and stays.

What follows is not a haunting but a gestation. The parish begins to slip out of time: the dead are grieved before they die, birds fall from a windless sky already pointing one way, rain refuses her roof, and the beasts in the byres are born wrong - almost right, as though drawn by something that heard a cow described but never saw one. One by one Agnes's own senses are stolen and replaced: she sees the dying stacked behind the living, hears a vast slow beat beneath the world's silence, smells the grave rising through her own skin. And in the kirk's ledger, in ink already dry, her confession waits - sworn freely, and without compulsion - for the day she will arrive to speak it.
