The Raven and the Rose - THE WITCH
England, Anno Domini 1263. Claire has always lived her life in the forest, sworn to help others with her magic, but when she saves a wounded knight, her secrets come back to life. Between mistrust and suspects, witchcraft and chivalry, Richard has his faith shaken, entering the life of a woman who would do anything to destroy his lord. While two powerful lords and their knights mischievously bury old rivalries to forge alliances, friars use God’s will to achieve their goals and brigands prove the most loyal of all; a witch and a knight will fight for their lives, running on the thin edge between vengeance and justice.
