1692. A plague of witches descends upon the village of Salem. While the Court of Oyer and Terminer bring the guilty to trial, Jacob Blackthorne, and the Reverend Cotton Mather, are recruited to find the root of the problem.

One night in the woods outside of Salem Village, she shared with him her secret. The power of the Sangreal---a magical elixir that forestalls the natural process of death.

The rumor of Witchcraft returned Jacob to Salem with hopes of finding his salvation there. Instead he learns that the secret once shared with him may run deeper than just one woman as he uncovers a conspiracy dating back to Biblical times...
