Experience history as you've never seen it before, in the way it was meant to be told. Not with sterile, boring dates, but through the voice of Sherrilyn Kenyon who is a direct, lineal descendant of these brave women who left everything they knew behind to begin forging their lives among strangers in alien cultures and lands where they had to boldly face adversity, starvation and threats that challenged their wills to survive. Meticulously researched from historical records, and family documentation that has been handed down and preserved, these are the unvarnished tales of life and human endurance, for docile women never make history. Yet these swans forever changed the world . . .

Roughly thirty years before the infamous trials that put Salem on the map, the town of Andover was already astir with accusations of witches, and one family in particular found itself in the center of those allegations. That family would spend decades in the middle of a heated maelstrom. Founders of New England, and descendants of some of the most prominent members of the colony, including the Mathers themselves, and the Cromwells, they should have been above reproach and yet they turned on each other in a ruthless game of family treachery, bitterness and betrayal that is told through the eyes of the woman who not only witnessed the nightmare, but had to attempt to put her family back together again when it finally ended.

Original Publication Date: December 31, 2027 \*Sherri apologizes for the delay in getting her books out. For those who haven’t heard, her life was torn apart during her divorce by an out-of-control judge and a corrupt judicial system that held her and her family hostage for more than two years and left her bankrupt and without a place to live while threatening to take away everything from her, including all her book rights, her freedom, and to force her to write for free to pay the unimaginable legal fees of those who were torturing her. Thankfully, her publisher is still behind her, but it will take some time for her to get back on a “normal” publishing schedule. Please be patient as Sherri and her publisher work together to get the books her fans love back into production and out to the fans who have been so eagerly waiting for them. As soon as we have release dates for them, we will let everyone know. " Most history teachers claim that women had no authority prior to the modern era. But then, they never bothered to read very deep into their textbooks. The truth is never that easy and human nature will not be denied. Colonial America wasn’t as cut and dry as those boring tests we were all forced to endure in school, and when the wives of two governors who have a grudge match against each other take up arms, all hell breaks open. And heads literally roll. Beware the wrath of an angry swan. Not even the king of England himself will stop her.
