Will Charlotte help her father fight for the lives of Philip and Mary English? When father and daughter arrive in Salem, their cousins have already been imprisoned. How can the couple survive against spectral evidence- harming their victims from afar as invisible projections? The motives of their accusing neighbors are anything but spiritual.
