Salem, 1693

Tituba, little Dorcas Good, Sarah Carrier, and ninety-three other falsely accused women, men, and children stumble out of Salem and Boston jails when the court of Oyer and Terminer is suspended by the governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Judge Hathorne watches them limp back into Salem—the orphaned children, the widows, the daughter who testified against her mother. He rages at the magistrates who recant their verdicts and at the accusers—Betty Parris and Ann Putnam first among them—who apologize for the terror they wrought.

“The victims believed Satan was here and I still believe it,” Hathorne tells his wife. “You stay clear of them, for changelings are always among us and I would not trust the lot of them, certainly not with my soul.”
