Connie studies History at Harvard and, while clearing out her grandmother's house near Salem, finds a key with a coded paper that refers to the 1692 witch trials. Her thesis on colonial witchcraft leads her to search for a mysterious book, which her professor Manning Chilton also covets. The story follows eight women marked by that manuscript since the seventeenth century.

Recommended for readers of historical mystery with witchcraft, set in Salem and with a protagonist immersed in the academic world.
