Sign up to use
False accusations and false confessions of witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts, took her mother, Tituba, away, and now Violet seeks revenge on those who tore her family apart. A year after the Salem Witch Trials ended, many are acting as if they never happened, but thirteen-year-old Violet is still desperately seeking closure. Her mother, Tituba, was one of the first accused of witchcraft by Betty and Abigail, two girls Violet had regarded as sisters. Instead of denying the accusations, her mother had confessed. She's always found it difficult to reconcile her mother's supernatural dealings with the mother she knew. When the governor of Massachusetts pardons the remaining accused of witchcraft, Violet longs for her mother's release from prison so they can be a family again. But she finds that Reverend Parris has sold her parents, and she vows to sign the Devil's book herself in order to punish the Parris family and possibly find a way to reunite with her parents. When she comes across two other girls also seeking vengeance, they convince Violet to join their coven, where the magic becomes darker and darker. Violet feels uneasy about using dark magic, but she desparately wants revenge. Will Violet find closure, or will the dark magic be her undoing? This historical, powerful story of family, revenge, and reconciling is a can't-miss novel from Amanda Marrone.
