Young Ellie Harewood falls victim of renowned Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins, and is left to die in the depths of a winter's forest. As Ellie begins to pass to the other side she is rescued by an old hag, one fully immersed within the world of witchcraft.

Sensing great power within the young woman, the hag barters with Samael, the spirit who arrives to ferry Ellie cross the plains of existence, and promises a greater amount of human life delivered by Ellie's own hand if her life be spared.

With one month to make good on the promise, Ellie is released to the guidance of the hag, before Samael returns to claim her soul. But, after finding of her escape, Hopkins and his company of paranormal hunters must track them down and deliver Ellie to London at the King's request, or face a trial of fraud brought about by the most powerful people in England; Parliament.

Can Hopkins find and kill the accused witch he failed to execute, or will Ellie master the art of paganism and witchcraft in time to save her life?

Excerpt from "Drawing Down the Moon":
"A mass of flames roared within the winter's night. People flooded to the centre of their town grasping tools and torches, yelling within an atmosphere thick with anger and aggression. Voices babbled into one roar aimed towards the woman who had been judged and sentenced.

"Kill her!" came cries from within the gathering crowd.

"Kill the witch!"
Through the tools and pitchforks emerged a defenceless, fearful woman, yanked into compliance by a firm grasp of her hair. The town's executioner dragged the woman toward her fate across a solid, frozen ground through the increasing mass of bodies. The woman pulled against him as she attempted to escape, but the giant beneath the black hood paid little attention. Try as desperately as she might, he was simply too powerful to resist. The accused wailed between the bodies of the crowd, her battered legs bruised and bloody from their attacks as she passed through."
