Inimitably excellent, Jim Grace stands on his own ground among living English novelists’
Boyd Tonkin, Independent

‘As finely written as it is tautly structured ... an achievement worthy to stand alongside those of William Golding’
Peter Kemp, Sunday Times

*

As late summer steals in and the final pearls of barley are gleaned, a village comes under threat. A trio of outsiders — two men and a dangerously magnetic woman — arrives on the woodland borders triggering a series of events that will see Walter Thirsk’s village unmade in just seven days: the harvest blackened by smoke and fear, cruel punishment meted out to the innocent, and allegations of witchcraft.

But something even darker is at the heart of Walter’s story, and he will be the only man left to tell it...
