When it is no longer safe to be a witch, they call themselves cunning.

Seventeenth-century Lancashire is a dark and mistrustful place. Ten years after the notorious Pendle witch trials saw ten accused witches hanged, young Sarah Haworth and her family live as outcasts in a ruined hamlet. The inhabitants of the nearby village despise 'cunning folk' like them, but their services - healing balms, herbal remedies - will always be in demand, and they have a way of coming to know all the village's secrets.

A chance meeting sees Sarah become acquainted with Daniel, a young man from the village. In him, she sees a clever, caring man; in her, he sees not the strange, dirty outcast he knows he should, but rather the strong young woman coming into her own.

As they are drawn closer together, a new magistrate arrives in the area to investigate a spate of strange deaths befalling the villagers. Inevitably, his eye falls on Sarah's family, and his hand carries a burning torch. In the face of persecution, something as fragile as love seems impossible...

 

Lancashire, 1620. Die junge Sarah Haworth lebt als Ausgestoßene auf dem Pesthügel vor der Stadt. Die Leute verachten sie, doch ihre Dienste als Heilerin nehmen sie gerne in Anspruch. Als Sarah Daniel kennenlernt, hofft sie, dass sich nun alles ändert. Doch die Zeiten sind hart und die Menschen brauchen Sündenböcke.
