Hanging for witchcraft has been outlawed in Ireland for centuries… Sixteen-year-old Molly Chant faces the noose, a punishment unheard of in 1869. Her one chance for escape is to follow her friend, Mick, to a ship ready to sail to the desolate island of Newfoundland. But, crossing the vast, angry ocean to the colonies could be a new kind of death sentence. Her only hope for redemption is the tiny outport of Silver Cape Cove, where she struggles for a balance between her healing powers and the superstitious ignorance she finds there. Will she find a new family and acceptance or become the pariah everyone believes her to be?
