SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS, 1692
Something evil is abroad.
Four years ago, Resolve Hammond lost everything when she was accused of witchcraft. Her family. Her home. Her future. Now, it is happening again. But this time, the stakes are higher. This time, she could lose her life.
Something is happening to the girls of Salem Village. Tormented, pricked, possessed—beyond the reach of prayer or medicine—they begin to point fingers and cast accusations. As the coldest winter in living memory grips war-torn New England, the hysteria of witchcraft spreads like wildfire.
Once, Resolve thought she had escaped. The daughter of a renowned healer, she found sanctuary in the Great House above Salem Harbor with the English family. But the past cannot be outrun. What began years ago has returned, with devastating consequences.
As accusations fly and arrests begin, jealousy, fear, and resentment target the Englishes—and Resolve herself. The snare tightens. Desperate to save those she loves, Resolve summons old powers to create a new version of herself: a woman who fights. A woman who protects. But her transformation comes with a price. It could lead her to the gallows—unless she can escape in time.
Meticulously researched and based on true events, This Work of Darkness is the second novel in a gripping trilogy set against the harrowing backdrop of the Salem Witch Trials.
