The Book of Witching by C. J. Cooke (Paperback)

The Book of Witching by C. J. Cooke is a dark and chilling tale of motherhood, grief, and ancient magic. Set against the haunting beauty of the Orkney Islands, it explores how far a mother will go to save her child when reason and reality begin to blur.

When Clem’s daughter, Erin, is found unconscious after a tragic hiking trip that leaves one friend dead and another missing, Clem’s world unravels. But when Erin wakes, she no longer recognises her mother and insists she is someone else—someone named Nyx. The doctors call it trauma. Clem fears something far older has taken hold.

Determined to uncover the truth, Clem travels to the remote site of her daughter’s accident. There, she unearths the centuries-old story of a woman accused of witchcraft and murder. As history begins to echo through the present, Clem realises the line between madness and possession is thinner than she ever believed.

With its mix of folklore, suspense, and emotional depth, The Book of Witching is a powerful story of a mother’s love tested by forces beyond comprehension—and a past that refuses to stay buried.
