Newcastle Witch Trials Series by Helen Steadman

 

Newcastle Witch Trials Series
By Helen Steadman



England, 1650 to 1673. A world of witches, witchfinders and witch trials.

Based on real witch trials in the north east of England, the Newcastle Witch Trials trilogy tells the story of three women's struggle for survival in a hostile and superstitious world.

Inspired by the little-known Newcastle witch trials, where fifteen women and one man were hanged for witchcraft on a single day in August 1650.

Helen Steadman


Helen Steadman mostly writes biographical historical fiction (think herbs, healing, witch trials, swords, shipwrecks and lighthouses) set in the north east of England. So far, she’s written the Newcastle Witch Trials trilogy (Widdershins, Sunwise and Solstice), The Running Wolf (about the Shotley Bridge swordmakers) and Grace (about Grace Darling, the heroic lighthouse keeper’s daughter).

And then — because why not — there’s God of Fire set on Mount Olympus, which is absolutely nowhere near the north east of England. A sequel featuring Aphrodite is planned. Probably. At some point. (Helen is a slow writer. Deadlines tend to pass her by.)
