Klappentext zu „The Daylight Gate “
Can a man be maimed by witchcraft?
Can a severed head speak?
Based on the most notorious of English witch-trials, this is a tale of magic, superstition, conscience and ruthless murder.
It is set in a time when politics and religion were closely intertwined; when, following the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, every Catholic conspirator fled to a wild and untamed place far from the reach of London law.
This is Lancashire. This is Pendle. This is witch country.
