In 1692, Mary Bradbury was tried, convicted, and sentenced to hang for the crime of witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts.
She escaped, and with her a tome of unbridled arcane power.
Centuries have passed since that day.
The book has been passed down the family line from witch, to witch, to witch. No longer a book, but an archive-one Witch Hunters have been seeking since the day of Mary's escape.
Now, the Archive finds home in the mind of the youngest of Mary's descendants, a bookish girl named Amber.
In order to save her family and keep their secrets, Amber will have to break with tradition-but will her family ever be able to forgive her?

The Witch of Avery
When her great-aunt Georgia dies unexpectedly, Katie Rogers leaves her dead-end life in Tennessee to inherit the family curios shop in the small town of Avery, Vermont where she learned magic in the summers of her youth. Now, Katie can barely cast a decent hangover spell, and with so little power remaining in her gem necklace, she's running out of options. While her money-hungry mother and sister pressure her to seek help from an old flame, Katie struggles to keep the business afloat by herself while fending off help from the perky, intrusive mayor. But when a decades-old illness makes a stunning return to town, people cast their suspicions on the new witch, especially the annoyingly handsome Sheriff Holte.

As Katie's bad reputation grows, so do the mysterious circumstances surrounding Georgia's death. With the help of her friends, and her furry familiar Reggie, Katie uncovers the secrets of Avery, and a strength within herself that goes much deeper than the botched love spell that got her into this mess.
