Temperance Lloyd

Temperance Lloyd is a historical novel and the first volume of its kind, exploring the tragic lives of the last three women executed for witchcraft in England. Set in 1682, the story focuses on Temperance Lloyd, Susannah Edwards, and Mary Trembles of Bideford. This work of fiction examines the systemic persecution led by the church and state, where natural healers were targeted by physicians and legal authorities to appease public anger.

Blending elements of the occult and supernatural, the narrative questions the linear nature of time and the persistence of trauma. The author explores how the legacy of these women continues to influence modern herbalists and the shadows of history. This historical fiction piece serves as a poignant reflection on intolerance and the fight for justice for those convicted on hearsay evidence.
