The Witches of Pendle tells the haunting story of the 1612 witch trials in Lancashire, England, narrated through the eyes of nine-year-old Jennet Device. Born into a poor, fear-ridden family living at Malkin Tower, Jennet watches helplessly as her grandmother, mother, brother, and sister are accused of witchcraft and murder. When Justice Roger Nowell begins his investigation, family members betray one another with false confessions and desperate accusations. In a tragic twist, Jennet herself becomes the key witness against her own kin, and ten people are sentenced to death at Lancaster. This powerful tale explores poverty, superstition, betrayal, and the devastating consequences of mass hysteria.
