"A terrific debut novel.... a captivating thriller of the hidden powers of women throughout the centuries"- (Boston Globe)

Harvard graduate student Connie Goodwin needs to spend her summer doing research for her doctrinal dissertation. But when her mother asks her to handle the sale of Connie's grandmother's abandoned home near Salem, she can't refuse. As she is drawn deeper into the mysteries of the family house, Connie discovers an ancient key within a seventeenth-century bible. The key contains a yellowing fragment of parchment with the name written upon it: Deliverance Dane. This discovery launches Connie on a quest- to find out who this woman was and to unearth a rare artifact of singular power: a physick book, it's pages a secret repository for lost knowledge.
As the pieces of Deliverance's harrowing story fall into place, Connie is haunted by visions of the long-ago witch trials, and she begins to fear that she is more tied to Salem's dark past than she could ever have imagined.
