The final three paperbacks of the award-winning six-book series by Kate Forsyth.

But now life for the Finch tribe has gone even more horribly wrong. They have been accused of vagrancy and murder, and thrown into gaol with only three weeks to live. The only members of the family to escape are 13-year-old Emilia and her cousin Luka. They have been entrusted to find the six charms and bring them together again. Then, perhaps, the gypsies could once again have some luck... and the Finch tribe could walk free. What Emilia and Luka do not realise is that there is a price to be paid for each lucky charm, and that the cost may prove too high... 20th August - 24th August 1658: Having acquired the first three charms in the quest to secure their family's freedom, Luka and Emilia flee into Sussex with soldiers hot on their heels, in company with a Royalist duke, a Catholic priest, a highwayman and young Tom Whitehorse.

Luka and Emilia only have two charms to go before they attempt to rescue their family from the gallows. The Smith family prove to be unwelcoming and the previously met Hearne family come back on the scene.
Coldham is hot on their trail. He is now convinced that Emilia is a witch and wants to watch her burn on the stake.
But the children are still one step ahead of him.
This book moves a bit quicker. It's starting to build up for the climax in the last book. It's an enjoyable story, however, I must admit that I'm expecting big things from the last book and hope I won't be disappointed. ( )
