Fiction
The nether side of passion is madness. Nathan Price is a college professor with crippling
impairments, seeking escape from his prison of necessity.
One day, in a package of seventeenth-century documents from
Salem Village, he stumbles across a letter by his best
friend, Jamie, who had disappeared six months before. The
document is dated 1692—the height of the Witch Trials. The
only potential lead: a single mention of Carthage, a tiny
town in the Wisconsin northern highland. The mystery catapults Nathan from Chicago to the Wisconsin
wilderness. There, he meets Alanna, heir to an astonishing
Mittel-European legacy of power and sacrifice. In her, and
in the gentle townsfolk of Carthage, Nathan finds the refuge
for which he has long yearned. But Simon, the town elder, is
driven by demons of his own, and may well be entangled in
Jamie's disappearance and that of several Carthaginians. As
darkness stretches toward Alanna, Nathan may have no choice
but to risk it all... Moving from the grimness of Chicago's South Side to the
Wisconsin hinterlands to seventeenth-century Salem, this is
a story of love, of sacrifice, of terrible passions—and of
two wounded souls quietly reaching for the deep peace of
sanctuary.
