About This Book

The narrative follows a courageous man and a resolute woman caught amid witchcraft accusations and colonial unrest, entwining a love triangle with legal and martial conflicts. Episodes range from ominous omens and a high-stakes trial to imprisonment, a brutal peine forte et dure, a daring jailbreak, coastal battles and a sea voyage, duels, and sieges. Themes of loyalty, honor, and survival play out against Puritan anxieties and frontier violence as characters confront judges, rival claimants, and enemy forces, enduring court sentences, betrayals, and battle before the contest for love and authority is settled.
