A mysterious caravan. An affliction left in their wake. Townspeople are being struck blind after a group of travelers pass through, each victim's eyes removed by an ethereal whip and replaced with shadowy black pits. Calec and Serileen pursue the caravan, hunting a specific merchant who is a suspect in Serileen's mother's death. But the number of victims climb and draws them deeper into the Horseman's web of deceit. Serileen aims to uncover the lies of the merchant in question while Calec must unmask an adversary bent on destroying the caravan from within. There are no clues left behind and no alibis, only haunting visions seen by the afflicted. As Calec draws closer, the Horseman's whip will lash out for him-at the potential cost of his life and soul.

"Characters as deep and layered as any epic fantasy. Pacing and plot as quick as a thriller. Perfect combination."--D. Patterson In a land where the wolf wind and mists roam like ghosts, the conflicted son of a witch was knighted by the king. Knighted to repay a debt to his father. His name is Calec. He alone holds knowledge from both the knighthood and the mysterious witches of the woods. When the king's sheep are found lying in the snow, riddled with black rashes and hemorrhagic eyes, Calec is summoned to discover the reason for their deaths. Then, as human victims arise in the city, Calec uncovers an eerie string of clues. He seeks the aid and determination of pious Eristin--his betrothed and niece of the king--but to catch the murderer they must find answers, answers hidden beneath a web of secrets ensnaring the royal family, a witch, an innkeeper, a priest, and a former thief. And Calec never suspected he'd have to choose between the only two things he's ever loved. "... a thorough blend of fantasy, mystery, and murder."--Readers' Favorite "One of the most distinctive new voices in fantasy."--Emily Saunders "Heart pumping enough to match any thriller or mystery on the market, but in an epic fantasy/Arthurian legend setting."--J. Weersma "Schultz is a gifted storyteller who wove this story to perfection." --Readers' Favorite "... an incredibly intriguing story that weaves the reader into the characters' lives. Well done, well written ..."--Readers' Favorite

This book discusses the role of children in the Salem witch trials through a close reading of the many and varied narratives of the trials, including court records, contemporary and historical documents, fiction, drama, and poetry. Taking a critical theory approach to explore both what we might understand as a child in 1692 New England and to consider our adult investment in reading the child, Kristina West explores narratives of the afflicted girls and the many accused children whom are often absent or overlooked in histories, and considers how the trial structure is continually repeated in attempts to establish the respective guilt and innocence of these and other groups. This book also analyses later manuscripts and fictional rewritings of the trials to question the basis on which assumptions about the child in history are made, and to consider why such narratives of Salem’s children are still relevant now.
