Annie, heroine of An Irregular Marriage, is back, now in her new home in Prince Edward Island. But is she a healer or is she a witch? Her husband is dead, drowned on the crossing from Scotland to Prince Edward Island. Her most treasured possession is a gazing ball, a gift from her mentor Belle—a woman believed to be a nature-worshipping witch. How will Annie become part of her new community in Canada? Will her skills as a healer and a midwife outweigh the reputation that has followed her from Skye? And who is the mysterious Mr. Wells, who has travelled with her from Scotland and whom only Annie can see?
