About this ebook

Seventeen year-old Newfoundlander Charlotte Jaddore loves nothing more than learning sacred healing arts from the elders of her Mi’kmaq and Beothuk grandmothers. But the year is 1692 and her father needs her help. Their American cousins in Salem, Massachusetts have been accused of witchcraft. Will Charlotte help her father fight for the lives of Philip and Mary English?

 

When father and daughter arrive in Salem, their cousins have already been imprisoned. How can the couple survive against spectral evidence— harming their victims from afar as invisible projections? The motives of their accusing neighbors are anything but spiritual. They are after the English famiiy’s wealth.

 

And the sights of those accusers are now fixed on the heirs. Can Charlotte get young Mary, Philip and William to Newfoundland, without infecting her own beloved island with spectral evidence fever?

 

“well-paced, engaging… with likable characters.”— Goodreads Review

“Recommended for anyone who is interested in mysteries, or learning more about Native culture.”— Long and Short Reviews 

About the author

Eileen Charbonneau is an award-winning novelist who writes for both adults and young adults. She lives in the state of Vermont but traces her heritage on her father’s side to the 1659 voyage of the St. Andre from La Rochelle, France, to the new settlement of Montreal, Canada. Among the St. Andre’s passengers were the first New World Charbonneaus: Oliver, Marguerite, and their three-year-old daughter Anne. Two of the sons of this family became voyagers who traded with many Native American nations of Canada and the United States. Among Eileen’s distant relatives are an Ojibwe woman named Beloved Jeanne and three members of the Lewis and Clark expedition—Sacagawea of the Shoshone people, her husband Toussaint Charbonneau, and their son Jean-Baptiste.
