Immerse yourself in an bewitched and wonderfully written novel that unearths one of the most fascinating and moving periods in American history: the Salem witch trials. Harvard student Connie Goodwin must spend the summer researching for her doctoral thesis. However, when her mother asks her to take care of the sale of her grandmother's abandoned house, near Salem, she cannot refuse. Little by little, Connie delves into the mysteries of the family home, until she discovers an old key inside a 17th century bible. The key hides a yellowish piece of parchment where a name is written: Deliverance Dane. This discovery will lead Connie to begin the search for who this woman was and unearth a strange artifact with special powers: the pages of this book are a secret store of lost knowledge.
