It ’ s 1739. An abused girl accused of witchcraft must be defended by a man married to an actual witch.

William MacLeod, a fierce Scottish lawyer with a kind heart, takes on a daunting task — rescue young Annaliese from the clutches of her tormentors in the untamed wilds of Virginia colony and deliver her safely to her aristocratic father in London. But lurking in the shadows are enemies eager to expose MacLeod ’ s own wife, Fiona, as a witch with a dark secret.

Their perilous journey takes an unexpected turn when their ship wrecks, and Annaliese ’ s haunting nightmares and unexplained Devil Marks trigger suspicion among the crew. Tension peaks when MacLeod must become Annaliese ’ s unwavering protector in a witch trial, where Fiona ’ s clairvoyance and a murder are unveiled.

To Rescue a Witch navigates themes of betrayal and redemption, in a spellbinding narrative that blends history, magic, and the unyielding resilience of the human spirit

From To Rescue a Witch

By Lisa Traugott

 

“They made their own rules at sea, and they wanted blood for wind.” (MacLeod)

*****

“Fiona never asked for this gift, ’twas more a curse. What good had second sight done for Auntie Matilda but char her bones?”  (Fiona)

 *****

“My maman says, ‘A lady knows how to get what she wants.’ Our sex must be clever in general, but girls our age must be clever in particular.” (Jacqueline to Annaliese)

 *****

His face darkened. “Annaliese Cameron, the lesson is to avoid sharks, not to become one.” (MacLeod)

 

*****

“Tisk tisk! A bonny lass standing alone on Samhain? Witches are wandering.”

“I’ve no fear of witches,” she said.

(William MacLeod and Fiona)

 *****

“How could you have let this happen?”

“Me? Beg pardon, my lord, but I canna deal with your bastards unless I ken they exist.”

(William MacLeod and Lord Hallewell)

*****

“God, you’re beautiful. You have citrine irises, like a cat.”

“Aye. I scratch like one, too.”

“I enjoy that in a wife.”

(William MacLeod and Fiona)

 *****

“Whoa,” Sheriff Brown said. “You know it’s a crime to point a gun at a sheriff?”

“Ain’t pointed at you.” Click-clack. She cocked the gun.

(Annaliese meeting MacLeod)

 *****

“I should have come to you at Astwick House.”

“Ah, but then my husband would find out,” she said, winking at her son.

“Won’t your husband notice your new teeth when you talk?”

“We try not to speak.”

(Lady Margaret)

*****

Tightening her hood against the cold flurries, she looked down. “How come the truth’s so confusing?”

“Because people are complex and flawed.”

(Annaliese and MacLeod)
