As the English Civil War erupts, the courageous Makepeace must defend herself from the wild and brutish ghostly spirits that try to possess her – but they may be her only defence in a time of dark suspicion and fear. Set in a seventeenthcentury
England riven with political and religious unease, this is a thrilling tale of hidden secrets and shadowy suspicion, Puritans and power struggles – both in the real world, and the other.
