In the misty fells of Cumbria, three women separated by centuries share a remarkable gift-and a dangerous legacy. When birds gather at their approach, insects respond to their touch, and animals offer protection, it's not coincidence but birthright. The Weyward women have always been different, their connection to nature both blessing and curse in a world determined to control female power. Their intertwined stories reveal how little has changed across four centuries-women's bodies remain battlegrounds, their autonomy contested, their differences feared. Yet in this struggle lies a profound truth: that which makes us vulnerable can become our greatest strength. Altha Weyward languishes in Lancaster Castle's dungeon in 1619, awaiting trial for witchcraft. Her crime? Using her gift to protect her childhood friend Grace from an abusive husband. In 1942, fifteen-year-old Violet Ayres chafes against the gilded cage of aristocratic life at Orton Hall, her scientific curiosity dismissed as inappropriate for a young lady, her strange affinity for insects treated as aberration. In present-day 2019, Kate flees her controlling partner Simon, seeking refuge in the remote Weyward Cottage she's inherited from her great-aunt Violet. Though separated by time, their struggles mirror each other with eerie precision. Each woman faces a society determined to label her difference as dangerous. Each confronts men who seek to possess rather than understand her. And each must discover that what marks her as "other" is precisely what might save her.
