reviewed on + 135 more book reviews


The good citizens of Fount Royal, in the Carolinas of 1699, blame a witch for all the fires, crop failures, and murders, and become convinced that the widow of a murdered minister is the witch. The clerk of the judge overseeing her trial is convinced that she is innocent, that something far, far worse than a witch is at work. This is the first volume of a two-volume work.
