Tallow and Bone: A Salem Witch Trials Retelling Special Edition paperback

After her family flees allegations of treason in Europe, Amity Merriweather hopes Salem will be a fresh start. Instead, she finds a land poisoned by something far older. Toxic relationships. Crop failures. Sick children. Deep-seated superstition and irrational fear. With every death, the curse buried beneath Salem's soil grows stronger. Gifted with rare earth magic, Amity has spent her entire life hiding, suppressing her magic. But now she has a chance to fix it. She could heal the town before hysteria turns neighbor against neighbor. The problem? Salem doesn't want saving. Every acre of poison she clears is a risk, but she'll get no thanks from its citizens. Meanwhile, Amity must choose between two very different men.

A male witch hardened by abuse, who insists her mercy is wasted on monsters. He would gladly burn Salem to its poisoned roots. On the other hand, there's the scarred shoemaker, with a heart too generous for its own good. He offers Amity a home and a family, and assures her that everything can be mended, even the truly broken. Who is worthy of saving? What if they’ve never earned the right to her magic? As accusations mount and innocents are dragged to the gallows, Amity faces an impossible choice: sacrifice herself for people who would rather see her burn... or abandon Salem to the curse consuming it.
