Witches of Salem were particularly feared. Given the ability to control anyone they chose, the Town was constantly on alert, the Lookouts watching through the dark with their sharp eyes. When a Witch was tracked down, it was lynched alongside the others accused that day. Trinity Everridge never wanted to be the daughter of a female Witch and the Godfather. All the nine-year-old girl wanted was to go to school and make friends with the Town. Her parents had relented and allowed Trinity to attend Town of Salem School, posing as the daughter of an Investigator. Trinity eventually makes friends with the son of the Doctor, a boy named Kai Thomas. Then, when Trinity is twelve, Kai's father is lynched, accused of being a Werewolf, only because he healed himself, resulting in the town being suspicious of whether or not he had basic protection. Kai and his mother, who was a Lookout, were devastated. Trinity wanted to help her only friend, and in doing so, went to her parents and started learning the secrets of witching after school each day. Two years later, Trinity raises her wand for the first time and directs it at the Vigilante's home. There is a loud bang. During that morning, Trinity, Kai, and their parents stand in the circle and listen to the announcements. The Sheriff spoke. "The Vigilante shot the Witch last night."
