The novel unfolds across three timelines, telling the stories of three women from the Wayward family who possess an extraordinary gift—a magical connection with animals (especially insects and birds) and plants.

 

Alta (1619): A young girl stands trial on charges of witchcraft. Her story is a tale of the witch-hunting era, when any form of female independence and knowledge of nature was considered a crime.

 

Violet (1942): A girl from an aristocratic family who feels like an outsider in her own home. She longs for freedom and knowledge about her deceased mother, but faces harsh social constraints and family secrets during World War II.

 

Kate (2019): Fleeing an abusive relationship, Kate takes refuge in the abandoned home of her great-aunt Violet. There, she begins to uncover the truth about her family and her own hidden power.
