1885. A girl on the run collides with a gruff stranger and breaks her ankle. Taken to Ravenswood and offered sanctuary until her injuries have healed, all Marcus Greybourne asks in return is that she pretends to be his wife for a short time. But where is the real Luna Greybourne – a woman known locally as the Ravenswood Witch? Who is practising dark magic in the adjoining woods? And has the young woman escaped the noose only to succumb to a far worse fate?
