I love historical fiction, and as I still haven’t read The Maiden, I wasn’t missing out on reading this!

Told from the point of view of three women, Princess Anna of Denmark who enters a handfasting contract with King James VI. Her lady in waiting, Kirsten, and Jura, a young Scottish woman who has inherited knowledge of herbalism from her mother.

Based on the North Berwick Witch Trials, it focuses on a period of history which must have been a terrifying time to be a woman. I read completely gripped from the very start. Kate Foster is my new must-read author!
