The Witches Of Cambridge

Published: September 8th, 2028

Genre: Horror Occult/Supernatural/ Magic realism/ Historical Fiction

Pages: 416

Themes:  Literary Fiction, Magical Realism, Witches

Once upon a time, women were drowned in the river and the only witnesses were the crows in the trees. The Puritans blamed Eve for the sins of the world. That was when we began to meet in the name of Lilith, Adam’s first wife—banished for refusing to do as she was told.

We Fly Together…

By the 1950s, Cambridge, Massachusetts feels far removed from the legendary witch trials that marked its early days as a colony. Ava, a bright young woman from a small town in Maine, arrives for her first year at Radcliffe College. There, she meets Lauren, her opposite in every way—the wild and brazen daughter of a wealthy and well-established Cambridge family. But the two have more in common than they think. Both are recruited by the Lilith Society, a secret organization of witches at Radcliffe dating back to colonial times. As they learn more about their legacy, Ava and Lauren form a close bond that is put to the test as they learn to navigate their new power, friendship, and love.

While Radcliffe seems like a safe haven, the shadow of McCarthyism looms large, an ever-present threat to the flourishing creative and intellectual life in Cambridge. And as girls from the Lilith Society begin to go missing, Ava and Lauren realize the witch trials of the past may not be as deeply buried as they once believed.

There are places you should never go…

Charlie Sparks is the sheriff of a small North Florida town, his career derailed by rampant scandal and corruption. At the worst time possible, he’s faced with solving the gruesome campsite murder of a young family. Though the youngest son survives, insisting a “monster” killed his parents and sister, Sheriff Sparks assumes the real culprits are two recent escaped convicts, seeking their revenge against him.

When a search party goes missing, Sparks assembles a makeshift search party of his own. It consists of the female deputy he’s having an affair with, his old friend just returned from action in the Middle East, and a self-serving journalist hoping for the news story of a lifetime. Eager to protect himself and those he loves (and to reclaim his reputation,) Sparks journeys into Sisters Creek, a national forest, to recapture the convicts before they can kill again.
