The Coven (The Dark Dorset series)

After suffering a terrible injury at Henry Hyde’s hand, James Bingham has returned from Transylvania to Bolt Hall to claim what he sees as his inheritance, and no one will get in his way. With him is his father in law, Caliban Lupitescu, who has other, bigger and darker plans. But two young women, Fiona Wright and Alice Kirwan, have moved into Beldam Cottage, once home to the 17th century witch, Agnes Wynchester, where they are building a healing practice based on Alice’s power to harness the good in the natural world. Henry’s friend, the traveller, Bartley Bozzell, believes she is more than she seems. When Bartley’s niece, Kazia, is abducted just nights before a full moon is due, Henry leads the mission to retrieve her before Caliban can execute his monstrous plan in the the standing stone ring at the centre of ancient Bolt Wood. But when Henry is injured by James, or what James has become, Bartley and his family come to understand just how much more Alice can be when she is aided by her coven, old and new.
