Greed, deceit, jealousy, and treachery are not qualities one desires to encounter, particularly when they manifest in a group believed to be extinct. Unfortunately, for Hugo Bennett, an eleven-year-old schoolboy, and his friends and allies, this group craves what they possess and will stop at nothing to acquire it.

When Hugo discovers a small golden amulet, it becomes evident that it is the target of the attacks they are facing. Alongside five jewelled rings, these objects originate from the scabbard of Excalibur, the legendary sword of King Arthur. According to legend, when these precious items are assembled, they possess the power of regeneration, which can be bestowed upon four executed children: Mary Edwards, Stephen Lloyd, Anne, and Jane Trembles. Executed in 1697 and descendants of the Witches of Bideford, they cursed their killers and their descendants with death before their demise.

As fate would have it, Hugo and his family are included in the list of those who must face the consequences of their ill-fated actions. Allies, both new and old, must unite to prevent the inheritance from falling into the wrong hands, but as the clock ticks down, it becomes increasingly apparent that a miracle is necessary to prevent the witches' children from rising from the dead. Can Hugo and Bird overcome this challenge once again, or has their luck finally run out?
