DAUGHTER OF MALKIN TOWER
A Novel of Witchcraft, Empire, and Two Moons
Lancashire, early 1700s. Beneath the crumbling ruin of Malkin Tower — the very ground that gave the infamous Pendle witch trials their name — a farm family finds an abandoned infant girl. They raise her as their own, never speaking of the witch bloodline she was born into, or the strange gift that begins to surface as she comes of age: at will, she can vanish entirely. But the full moon pulls at her with a force she cannot control, and cannot explain.
Sent into service and swept into a voyage bound for colonial India, Philomena falls for Thomas Hargreaves — a solitary Yorkshire mathematician with a genius for reading the stars, and a family secret of his own buried just as deep. Aboard a ship under the same moon that torments her and guides him, an unlikely love begins.
In the court of a young Indian queen fighting to hold her kingdom against the East India Company's advance, amid merchants, mystics, and a spiritual teacher whose murder will change everything, Philomena learns to master the power she was taught to fear. An ocean away, Thomas turns his scholar's mind to the very question that haunts her — the moon's hold over the human heart and mind — carrying him all the way to a doctorate at Cambridge, and back to the witch-haunted hills where it all began.
A sweeping historical novel of empire and folklore, faith and false accusation, Daughter of Malkin Tower follows two people across oceans and years as they learn that the things they were taught to hide are the very things that might set them — and everyone they love — free.
For readers of sweeping historical fiction set across England and colonial India, novels of the Pendle witch trials and English witch heritage, and slow-burn love stories forged under the East India Company's shadow.
