A Time of Witches

by Madeline Martin

First published 2026

Lilith Legare's world shifts after her mother dies. Plants bend toward her hands, animals follow her steps, and the birthmark on her arm begins to tingle. Night after night, she dreams of flames consuming her at the stake. These visions drive her from Savannah across the ocean to England, where she finds Brackenmere Manor crumbling with secrets. Inside its walls, past and present collide. Three centuries earlier, Sybil Brantham faces accusations of witchcraft in Suffolk. Men target the educated widow because her independence threatens their control. As neighbors disappear and fear spreads, Sybil fights to shield her younger sister while betrayal grows within her own home. The two women share blood and face the same deadly forces across time. Both must break the silence that has stripped women of power for generations and speak their truth before death silences them forever.
