For eighteen-year-old Cate Allen-a brash, impulsive half-witch-stopping the shadowrise means mastering the witchcraft that's always eluded her, or seeing the last of her people perish. In this first volume of the dark fantasy trilogy The Demons of Salem, Ken Davis brings us into an unsettling and riveting world where sorcery, witchcraft, and 18th century technology collide with politics, betrayal, and the siren lure of power.
