# The Last Witch

Innsbruck, 1485. Helena is a wealthy young wife, expected to keep her husband's house and bear his children. When the family's footman is found dead, she is accused of killing him, and then of witchcraft. She is imprisoned with six other women and faces a witchfinder whose verdict could send her to the stake.

C. J. Cooke, who published the novel with HarperCollins in 2025, builds the dread on two fronts. Inside the cell, a cursed witch totem is smuggled in, and the prisoners' attempt to use it to escape unleashes a malevolent spirit that endangers them all. Outside, Helena must decide whether to stand up to her accuser, with the danger possibly lying beyond this world as well as within it. It is historical horror for readers who enjoy long, dark nights.
