If Salem would rather kill witches than let them exist, how much will one witch sacrifice to save it?
After her family flees allegations of treason in Europe, Amity Merriweather hopes Salem will be a fresh start. Instead, she finds a land poisoned: Toxic relationships. Crop failures. Sick children. Deep-seated superstition and irrational fear. With every death, the curse buried beneath Salem's cobblestone streets grows stronger.
Gifted with rare earth magic, Amity has spent her entire life hiding, suppressing her magic. She has a chance to heal the town before hysteria turns neighbor against neighbor. But Salem doesn't want saving. Every acre of poison she clears will risk discovery, and she'll get no thanks from its citizens.
Meanwhile, Amity must choose between two very different men:
A male witch hardened by abuse, who would gladly burn Salem to its poisoned roots... Or a scarred shoemaker with a heart too generous for its own good. Knowing which path to take requires knowing both men, but more importantly, it requires knowing herself.
Amity has worn as mask for so long, she no longer can be sure of who she truly is.
As accusations mount and innocents are dragged to the gallows, Amity faces an impossible choice. Keep sacrificing herself for people who would rather see her burn-or abandon Salem to the curse consuming it.
