In seventeenth-century Scotland, saying the wrong thing can lead to banishment – or worse. Accused of being a witch, sixteen-year-old Maggie Blair is sentenced to be hanged. She escapes, but instead of finding shelter with her principled, patriotic uncle, she brings disaster to his door. Betrayed by one of her own accusers, Maggie must try to save her uncle and his family from the King’s men, even if she has to risk her own life in the process.

The Betrayal of Maggie Blair (also published as The Witching Hour) is the latest novel by popular children's and young adult author Elizabeth Laird. A stunning story of witchcraft, religion and belief, The Betrayal of Maggie Blair will keep you on the edge of your seat, eagerly awaiting poor Maggie's next obstacle.
