32 year old Saffron Bickle is searching for answers in the eerie cellars of a tumbledown manor house in the heart of Dartmoor. Who is she? Who are her parents? Why did they leave her on a vicarage doorstep when she was only a week old?

She soon discovers that there are more pressing questions to resolve. Like… How did she end up in a wood in the 17th century, running for her life from armed soldiers who are hunting her down as a witch? Why is an ancient sword so important? And what the heck does any of this have to do with her anyway?
