Falsely named and accused like her mother was, Fiona lives in fear of the intensifying Scottish witch hunts. When the Laird son takes ill, only she can save him- her power not coming from the devil she worshiped like many believed, but her green thumbs.
As Fiona works hard to heal the boy, she learns about the hardened Laird, and the circumstances that made him so. In hopes that her herbs would heal him, she also provides him company, a comfort for his loss.
Will their love be accepted by his people? Would he have to burn his beloved at the stakes?
