    Summary

    It wasn’t Josiah Cutting’s first winter but up until now, he had spent them mostly in Boston, improving his studies in a fireplace lit room, surrounded by paper, books and the smell of ink. Now he sat in an unheated room in front of an old woman, who for some strange reason seemed completely unaffected by the cold. Her hands had turned the most disturbing shade of purple, but still refused to shiver. Instead, they moved about restlessly, rearranging a small set of pots filled with mysterious salves and powders. A strange smell stuck to them, musty and mushroom-like
    “Answer me, woman.”, he demanded: “Art thou a witch? A servant of Satan?”
    She only looked at him with old, soft eyes and smiled:
    “No, sire. I have not seen the children. They art so lovely doves.”

    ----

    Josiah Cutting is on his first witchhunt and he is way out of his depth. Luckily, there is a one-eyed war hero to help dealing with the madness that lies under the surface of a sleepy little village.
