Annabelle Black had two options, indentured servitude or find a husband.

It’s why she left the only home she’d ever known to marry a stranger in the New World. When she arrives, she finds a kind man with some…less than average qualities. While he's not what she pictured, he's better than the other path she could have chosen. Can she accept him for who and what he was?

Finding a wife in the New World was already challenging enough, add in Ezekiel Turner’s peculiarities and it was near impossible. Accepting one of the many proposals sent his way would mean allowing a woman to get close, to see him. The risk of being found out was too great, the risk too much.

Accepting his single life with stone faced certainty, the last thing he expected was advice from his future seeing sister-in-law. Seek a bride from England, that was what she told him. He wasn’t fool enough to ignore a fortune teller’s words, and so the cogs were put in motion. When the woman steps off the ship in the harbor--his heart is drawn to her--a hope he hadn't ever felt flickers to life.

As the couple’s relationship begins to bloom, a winter snap threatens to cut it short. Children are falling ill and witchcraft is the suspected source. Family turns against family, neighbor against neighbor, and the chaos won’t stop until Satan is removed from their midst. A man in black, carrying the devil’s book..

Get lost in this fictional retelling of The Salem Witch Trials with a magical twist.
