A story of love, hate, murder and witchcraft. Strength and survival through generations, battling against a terrifying curse that will blight an entire bloodline. This is the story of a witch called Beatrice, whose curse upon her family's bloodline has long reaching consequences for her descendants. Tess is the first to be the victim of her aunt's curse, being that there will be no living male born to the bloodline. As the strong female characters of this story must survive this curse, lasting and loving relationships are developed. The story will take us back through Beatrice's life, how through desperation and manipulation she turns to prostitution at the early age of 15, in the year of 1619. It will tell of her attachment to a young girl in very similar circumstances, who both cling to each other and become non-blood sisters. They will go through untold hardship at the hands of local gentry, and meet his long-suffering child bride wife, where, between the three of them, they will develop a bond through love, and sisterhood. Beatrice and her sisters will learn the art of witchcraft, initially use of concoctions and remedies, but as tragedy befalls the three, their witchcraft turns dark and will ultimately end in their capture and death. The curse will not die with them.
