Speaks The Nightbird by Robert R. McCammon
Set in the late 17th century, this historical novel unfolds in the small, superstitious town of Fount Royal, where a young magistrate's clerk named Matthew Corbett is tasked with investigating the witchcraft accusations against a mysterious woman named Rachel Howarth. As Matthew delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of deceit, fear, and hidden motives that challenge the very fabric of justice and truth. Amidst the backdrop of colonial America, the story explores themes of prejudice, courage, and the relentless pursuit of truth, as Matthew battles both external and internal demons to uncover the real source of the town's turmoil.
