-It's 1632, the height of the witch trials in Europe. Rowen is on the lam, protecting his baby niece from the witch hunters after her. Along the way, he meets an ex-witch hunter offering help, a man named Alistair who is also on the run. Together they hide, adventure, and form a friendship- or more. But will they be able to hide forever? And how should Rowen face his own feelings for Alistair?
