Pearl and Ruby lived with their mother, who was a healist, using natural herbs. The village doctor went to the magistrate, stating their mother was a witch, due to the fact she was able to heal patients he couldn't, stating no woman worked in the medical field. The trial was set, and their mother was convicted and burned at the stake for being a witch. The two sisters watched as their mother was burned to death, all the time denying their mother was a witch. They were alone, with no relatives to turn to, their older brother and father, were killed in a storm, while fishing. Pearl had a dream where her brother appeared to her, telling her to take their younger sister away, the magistrate would be there to take them away, use them in ways he shouldn't, and they would meet the same death as their mother. The dream was too real for Pearl to ignore, so the next day they left, and then the adventure begins, and what an amazing adventure it is! I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did, it would be great to read with Halloween coming up, it has many sit on the edge of your seat moments. Happy reading!
