Gwendolyn is sentenced to die at the stake as a witch in 13th century Scotland, but that's just where the story starts. Condemned by false accusations and spurned by her clan, Gwendolyn is rescued from the pyre by Mad MacDunn, a laird at the end of his rope and in search of a witch, his last chance to cure his dying son.
Alex MacDunn is beside himself with grief over the death of his wife and the failing health of his son. At his wit's end, he seeks out the witch of a rival clan as a last resort to save his son.
