The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Cleopatra, the #1 national bestseller, unpacks the mystery of the Salem Witch Trials. It began in 1692, over an exceptionally raw Massachusetts winter, when a minister's daughter began to scream and convulse. It ended less than a year later, but not before 19 men and women had been hanged and an elderly man crushed to death. The panic spread quickly, involving the most educated men and prominent politicians in the colony. Neighbors accused neighbors, parents and children each other. Aside from suffrage, the Salem Witch Trials represent the only moment when women played the central role in American history. In curious ways, the trials would shape the future republic. As psychologically thrilling as it is historically seminal, The Witches is Stacy Schiff's account of this fantastical story -- the first great American mystery unveiled fully for the first time by one of our most acclaimed historians.

Tiredly, I moved from side to side in my bed. Insomnia kicked in. The memories rushed through my mind in flashes again. I sighed. I suffered from Schizophrenia and insomnia ever since my mom died. Slowly I was healing, but the memories of the past weren't helping as if I was in a past life regression. Aria, a mermaid warrior of the Disenchanted from the Coral sea. She had colorful pastel-colored hair. Her eyes were blue like the seas. At the Coral Sea was where dad proposed to my mother when I was three years old and Heiley was two. Growing up as mundane alongside my siblings was hard changing life for another. Karl and Heiley got used to the changes before I did. I still struggled with making friends in Fate Empire. I was brilliant even in Disenchanted High School. My last year until Fate College. Technology was advanced in Fate Empire. Still, they had different names than the mundane dimension would call them. Rose was Rosě. Amethyst was Thýst, garnet was Gaer, Emerald was Emere, opal, and ruby-there was more, yet I didn't remember their other names for these stones. I called them after the mundane version. They were the quartz that helped design our technology. For mundanes' dimension, they were used for witchery as they recalled. I was a Christian witch. So I called myself a Wiccan instead of a witch at times when I'd be calm. When angered my powers overpowered me and it hurt people around me. My magic was stronger with the days that passed. As in the letter mom sent me with a hawk. It said... Dear Crisyanis, Soon you'll receive the crown as the new queen of the Disenchanteds and Tainos who migrated here. You need to protect them too. Your father misses living in Florida so we will live there after we create the big gigantic house that around it we can create townhouses for the poor in our empire. You deserve to give try to become queen so all your studies will be at Disenchanted University. Don't fear too much you have everyone you need. I belong in angel city unless I marry again, so I said yes to your dad and Amethyst will join the marriage vow too. Mom
