Book Description:
After a decade, New York Times bestselling author Robert McCammon returns with an epic novel of suspense that reinstates him as one of the great storytellers of our time....
The Carolinas, 1699: The citizens of Fount Royal believe their town is cursed by a witch. What else could explain the sudden fires, crop failures and gruesome murders? Convinced that Rachel Howarth, the beautiful widow of the recently slain minister, is to blame, they throw her into a gaol to await trial and execution.
Presiding over the trial is traveling magistrate Issac Woodward, aided by his astute young clerk, Matthew -- who, despite the evidence against Rachel, believes in her innocence. But soon he realizes that there truly is Evil at work in Fount Royal: a malevolent force more powerful than any witch could ever hope to conjure....

An OK story, I guess, but contains numerous factual historical errors. The hero is also unbelievably naive.

The good citizens of Fount Royal, in the Carolinas of 1699, blame a witch for all the fires, crop failures, and murders, and become convinced that the widow of a murdered minister is the witch. The clerk of the judge overseeing her trial is convinced that she is innocent, that something far, far worse than a witch is at work. This is the first volume of a two-volume work.

A different avenue for Mr. McCammon and I liked it. Not as good as some of his other books, but worth a read.
