The Witch's Daughter by Paula Brackston, 305 pages


Bess Hawksmith in 1628 has watched her brother, sister, and father die of plague, and her mother hung for witchcraft. She turns to warlock Gideon Masters as her only hope of surviving. He teaches her the dark arts, but before he can become her mate in a dark ritual, Bess escapes. She is determined to live a good life, healing and helping others, but Gideon follows, determined to make her his forever. Bess is now an immortal like Gideon, but a life alone and on the run is no true life. In current day England Bess has settled into a tiny village and is quickly befriended by teen Tegan. Tegan starts to learn the ways of the Hedge Witch and makes a place for herself in Bess' heart. But will Gideon show up and destroy all Bess has come to care for?
This was an interesting read, filled with history, witchcraft, love and excitement. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good book to pick up.
