Writer Suzanne Clelland is absorbed in the research for the third book in her series on female archetypes: the Maiden, the Whore, and now, the Witch. She studies the physical images of women produced over the centuries – images, wrought mainly by men, that women throughout the Western world have absorbed, often to their own cost. Suzanne’s professional delvings have become entwined with her personal life since her marriage to Murdo Napier, twenty years her senior and twice widowed. In her new husband’s house in the legend-steeped Borders region of Scotland, she stumbles on disturbing secrets of Murdo’s past.
