Orphans Drucilla and Gabe were raised as siblings, then separated after being taken in by different families in colonial Salem. As hysteria over witchcraft builds, Dru joins her peers in making denouncements--until Gabe is accused, and Dru searches for a way to end the trials. Dru's character exhibits sensibilities too modern for 1692, but the setting is otherwise well realized.
