Overview

She stole grain to save a child. They branded her a witch to save themselves.

During the Great Famine, nineteen-year-old Mary Gallagher is dragged before her starving neighbors and mutilated for a crime born of desperation. Left to die beside her dead parents in a collapsing cottage on Arranmore Island, Mary rises again - fevered, bloodied, and changed.

As storms batter the island and bodies gather at the Corpse Corner, whispers spread of a girl who walks the bog at night, keening like a banshee and haunting those who betrayed her. Some say she's a spirit. Others swear she's still flesh and bone. But Mary has become the one thing the famine cannot starve:

A reckoning.

Inspired by true family history, this is the story of the woman they called a witch - and the island that made her one.
