A village with a dark code for Woodend to crack
It is a great honour to be Witch Maker in Hallerton. It is he who, after years of apprenticeship, constructs the effigy he who burns it at the stake, watched by a jeering crowd. But this Witch Maker only the nineteenth in the 350 years of the ceremony never experiences his moment of triumph. This Witch Maker is discovered early one morning with a length of twine wrapped tightly around his neck.
