Courted by Lies

…witches…The vile word flits and twists through the courtroom, stabbing Molly in the back.

Molly and her mentor Bridget sweated and prayed and laboured over poor Mrs. Daly after her horrific fall. But all it took was one more death for the hundreds of people they’d helped in Youghal to pick up their verbal pitchforks and curse the only healers in town.

Now, Molly and Bridget sit at the back of an Irish courtroom filled with those same people, awaiting trial for a centuries-old crime.
