Rise of the Witch
language
( Dec. 26, 2013)
In the year 1563, Mary, Queen of Scots, passed Scotland’s Witchcraft Act. The act not only made witchcraft illegal, but to consult with or defend a witch was also illegal. And so the witch hunts began.
By the time the act was repealed in 1736, around 4000 ordinary people had been accused, tortured, convicted and executed. They were all innocent. Or were they?
When Peggy Stuart learns she shares her name with a notorious witch from the witch trials of the late 1600s in Scotland, she feels a desire to find out more information. Little did she know that her actions would lead to the Resurrection of the witch, who has lain dormant for over 300 years, waiting for the day she was released to once again unleash her powers on an unsuspecting world.
Finding that modern weapons are useless, and unable to control the witch, drastic action is considered by the government to try to stop her. Peggy and her partner, Matt Taylor, a historian at the local university and an expert in mythology must work together to try to discover her secret and how to stop her before the authorities carry out their devastating plan.
Their investigation leads them to shocking discoveries about the past, and present, which will change the world as we know it and thrust them into a new life where they must fight to preserve and protect.
