The Witches of Manningtree
1643. A puritanical frenzy sweeps through England. In Manningtree, a town deprived of men since the start of the wars, the terror of damnation burns in the hearts of the women, left to their own devices and fearing all kinds of accusations.
Rebecca West, a young woman with neither father nor husband, drags herself through the days, finding some relief only in her attraction to the clerk John Edes. Until an enigmatic stranger, Matthew Hopkins, dressed in black and imbued with religious devotion, enters the scene, fanatically immersing himself in the task of interrogating the women of this vulnerable community.
Dangerous rumours about cults, pacts, and carnal desires begin to hang over women like Rebecca—and the future is as terrifying as it is thrilling.
A disturbing romance, inspired by true events, that reflects the terror experienced by women persecuted and silenced at the hands of men.
These women are about to claim their freedom.
