Book One of the Shadow Cove Saga Inspired by Actual Events
Excerpt from the Journal of Clayton Stone – 1692
She was examined today without torture at Shadow Cove
township on the charge of witchcraft. She said she was
wholly innocent of the crime and has never in life
renounced
God. I watched as they brought her out. A poor, sickly
thing, worn by her time behind the walls of her prison.
Her
bared feet and hands bound in leather, her clothing
tattered
to that of ruin. Despite such condition, her head was held
high, her eyes meeting those of her accusers. She still
refuses to provide her name so we remain unable to search
baptismal records, nor has her family stepped forward to
claim her as their own. We have no reason to believe she
is
anything but an orphaned child. I find myself unable to
look
at her directly in the moments preceding her trial. She is
watching me though; with eyes of the deepest blue, she is
watching me.
Thad McAlister, Rise of the Witch When horror author Thad McAlister began his latest novel,
a
tale rooted in the witch trials of centuries past, the
words
flowed effortlessly. The story poured forth, filling page
after page with the most frightening character ever to
crawl
from his imagination. It was his greatest work, one that
would guarantee him a position among the legends of the
craft. But was it really fiction? He inadvertently opened a door, one that would soon
jeopardize the lives of his family. She wants to come back. At home, his wife struggles to keep their family alive.
Secretly wondering if she caused it all…a deal she made
long
ago. A deal with the Forsaken.
