It was late autumn, 1850, in the little farming town of Cideville, France. Seeking revenge for the jailing of his coven leader, a male witch named Thorel cast a hex upon two boys who lived with Father Jean Lariat, the parish priest. Immediately strange noises began in Lariat's parsonage. What followed was history's only known trial where a witch was the plaintiff, not the defendant.

The Great War is over, but Marabel's father still has not come home. Soon to graduate from her mother's School for White-Blouse Professions in London, Marabel misses him dearly. Otherwise her ambition is to become a country postmistress, where she need not deal with other people. Then the King sends her on a quest. Her mother gives her a magic heirloom and Marabel—dragging her 10-year-old brother Thomas with her—flies through time and space to retrieve the soldier who won the Great War's greatest medal. She is to bring him to a royal celebration at Stonehenge—in only two weeks!
