Harrowing scenes of human cruelty with a cathartic ending. If you want a classic witch persecution story read this. You'll get more than you bargained for and it'll be so worth it.

A fantastic take on the classic puritan witch story. Fantastic characterization of Samson, and I loved Abitha’s transformation throughout the book. Brom’s paintings are eerie and his way of storytelling sucked me in. I could not stop reading!
