Winner of multiple international book awards, including Runner-up in General Fiction (Paris Book Festival Awards 2025), Third Place in Mystery Fiction (The BookFest Awards 2025), and Finalist for Book of the Year (IAN Awards 2025). The Doctor, the Witch and the Rose Stone is an atmospheric historical mystery inspired by true events from the North Berwick witch trials and the plague-ridden streets of 16th-century Paris. Perfect for readers of The Mercies, The Witch's Daughter, and The Heretic's Daughter. In the winter of 1589, a storm rages across the North Sea, and King James VI becomes convinced that witchcraft is at work. His fear ignites one of the deadliest witch hunts in Scottish history, sweeping through the coastal town of North Berwick and targeting healers, midwives, servants, and nobles alike. At the heart of the maelstrom stands Agnes Sampson, a midwife whose healing gifts and defiant spirit make her both revered and feared. Meanwhile, across the Channel in plague-stricken Paris, young physician Assen Verey is torn between the promise of early modern medicine and the evocative legacy of his herbalist mother. As disease and persecution close in, Agnes and Assen find themselves on a collision course with the power of the Church, the monarchy, and the rising medical establishment. The Doctor, the Witch and the Rose Stone is a sweeping historical novel of courage, resilience, betrayal, and the enduring power of compassion. From the shadowy forests of 16th-century Scotland to the ravaged districts of Paris, this is an atmospheric, emotional, page-turning story about those who dare to heal in a world determined to destroy them. Perfect for readers who crave rich historical detail, atmospheric witch-trial stories, unforgettable characters, historical fiction based on true events, and a supernatural twist. "A gripping historical mystery I couldn't put down." "Spellbinding and captivating." "Engrossing, atmospheric, beautifully written." "Outstanding."
