Caitlyn Le Fey is enjoying her first autumn in England, nut-picking in the forest, creating delicious treats in her grandmother's enchanted chocolate shop, and dreaming of cosy evenings with the handsome Lord James Fitzroy.

And what is the jewel that seems to be exerting a sinister influence over her cousin Pomona? There are dark forces gathering in the village of Tillyhenge, and Caitlyn is about to discover that the savage tradition of witch-hunting is still very much alive…
