<p><strong>*A FOREWORD INDIES AWARD WINNER*</strong></p><p><strong><q>It's amazing what the spirit can cope with to preserve the body. My spirit is a mighty oak that just won’t fall.</q></strong></p>
<p>In a fantastical aftermath of the Salem witch trials magical women known as the Dirty have signed a contract swearing off their innate magic in exchange for freedom from violence by non-magical Freemen.

When her wealthy benefactor visits proposing marriage her appearance sparks abuse. Rushing to her teacher’s defense eight-year-old Rabbit curses the Beard dead and Whitetail’s arrested on trumped-up charges.</p>
