Something sinister stirs in the shadows of a seventeenth-century Puritan village.
When herbalist Sarah Smalley is executed for witchcraft, her death unleashes a chain of impossible horrors. Violent winds tear through the town. Sudden deaths strike without warning. And unholy visions plague the faithful. With fear spreading, the townspeople turn to their minister, who warns evil walks among them.
Then a mysterious stranger arrives with an ultimatum: You have three days to return Sarah to me, or I'll bring this town to its knees.
Only George Ayres, the settlement's magistrate, resists the hysteria. He believes Sarah's death and the terror that followed were born of human cruelty, not the Devil.
As paranoia tightens its grip, George is forced to confront the truth he denied: Sarah was innocent. And saving the town may require the very forbidden knowledge her execution was meant to destroy. With judgment looming and faith turned against itself, George must choose between the righteousness that condemned them and the heresy that might redeem them.
The Devil's Poppet is a supernatural historical thriller that explores the deadly consequences of religious persecution, the power of a mother's love, and the thin line between faith and fanaticism in America's darkest colonial chapter.
