In November 1662, Esther MacGregor was executed as part of the Forfar Witch Trials. She died wearing a ring infused with her family's powers. Then the ring vanished.

Nearly 350 years later, Hadley Weston and Fitz MacGregor have just been kicked off the crusade against Lorenzo Belmonte, a powerful witch intent on using the ring's magic for his own benefit. Desperate to recover the family heirloom that now threatens witchkind, Hadley and Fitz journey across time back to where it all began: Forfar, Scotland, 1662. But they quickly learn that the past might be even more dangerous than the present.

Through suspicious villagers, reticent governments, wary ancestors, and more, Hadley and Fitz must work together to retrieve the ring that might destroy their world and to survive the rampant witch hunts that are underway. But as Esther's execution date looms near and they grow closer to Fitz's ancestor, Hadley must make her most difficult decision yet: will she let time take its natural course or will she risk angering Fate to chart a new way forward?
