THE STORY
The year is 1692, and Salem is consumed by madness. In a world gripped by hysteria, accusations of witchcraft fly like sparks in a dry field, and the shadow of the gallows falls upon anyone who dares to be different.
A young woman named Sarah Latham finds herself a target. But a greater danger, and a passionate secret, burns in the shadows. Sarah has captured the attention of Thomas Hathorne, the brilliant son of the Judge who is sending her neighbors to prison and the gallows.
In a time of lies, their only truth is each other. But in Salem, a love like theirs is not just a scandal; it is a death sentence.
The only way to save Sarah's life is to uncover the truth. Join The Salem Letters and be transported to the Salem Witch Trials in 1692.
