Fade arrives in the small Canadian town of Willow Sound after her aunt, Madeleine Lac, the local outcast whom everyone calls a witch, mysteriously disappears. In her aunt’s old house, filled with herbs, charms, and secrets, Fade discovers traces of a hidden life and realizes that someone is hunting her aunt, intent on repeating an old witch-burning ritual.

As she uncovers the truth, Fade faces the town’s fear, superstition, and lies. This is a tense and haunting story about courage, injustice, and the bond between two women, one missing and one still fighting, bound together by love and memory.
