The Widow of Hartforde

It's the year is 1662 in the wild and dangerous colony of Connecticut. At an urgent midnight trial, a bizarre old woman stands before a court and calmly confesses to witchcraft-claiming she was seduced by the Devil himself after encountering a monstrous beast in the woods. Her tale is grisly, unsettling-and all too convincing for town newcomer Rebecca Easton who has seen the creature, too.

But when she breaks her silence to warn the others, she finds the judge's suspicion turned on her instead. As accusations fly, Rebecca's husband (the colony's reverend) negotiates a desperate and deadly deal: find the creature by morning or Rebecca will stand trial as well. As the hunting party departs, the reverend unearths the judge's dark motive behind trials-truths that threaten to destroy Rebecca and many others in Hartforde as well.
