Lizzie Mather’s normal sophomore year gets turned upside down when she discovers she’s a Divinity Witch, the direct descendent of the most powerful witch accused in the Salem Witch Trials: Elizabeth Proctor. Kept away from other witches her entire life due to a prophecy, Lizzie might be in danger from the Venatori, a group focused on killing all witches ever since Salem. While pursuing a romance with Ian, a poetry-loving football player, Lizzie tries to ignore the crush she has on one of her teachers, Carson Conley. Carson is a witch, too, sent to help protect her from the Venatori. Then Lizzie’s classmate dies, and it’s discovered he was a witch, too. The older witches try to hide the danger, and they won’t allow Lizzie to use her powers unsupervised. She must work in secret to determine if the Venatori murdered her friend. As she investigates the murder, Lizzie comes to understand the hatred that started the Salem Witch Trials, the prophecy that accompanied her birth, and the actions she must take to save them all.
Note to readers: Salem’s Shadow is one book, divided into seven parts.
