A perilous mission without back-up. A rookie partner. A mysterious trail of incarceration. And that’s just the start. Months after nearly losing my soul, I receive a promotion I never thought I’d get. Now, I’m a Special Agent for the Supernatural Bureau of Investigation—but the promotion came with a deadly assignment. Brighton Supermax Prison. It’s where the most dangerous and deranged supernatural criminals have been imprisoned since a meteor slammed into a ley-line running across the eastern seaboard ten years ago. It’s also home to Nikos Volkov, a notoriously dangerous vampire running an empire he controls even from prison. The SBI thinks something is going on, that there’s a definitive pattern to the supernaturals that have been incarcerated there—which must mean the inmates are up to something. I don’t know if they’re right, but I do know my gut is telling me it’s not a coincidence. My gut is never wrong. But it won’t be as simple as posing as inmates. I’m being assigned a rookie partner who is greener than green. I’ll have to keep us both alive and our fragile cover stories intact. Because if Nikos gains even a whiff of SBI presence, we’re both dead before we find out what he and others might be planning. One thing’s for sure: after everything I’ve experienced over the last ten years, I know there’s no such thing as a coincidence. Imprisoned Witch is an urban fantasy adventure with a slow burn romance. It is the first in an upcoming trilogy filled with adventure, mystery, and all the supernaturals you could ever want.

The story of the Salem Witch Trials told through the lives of six women Six Women of Salem is the first work to use the lives of a select number of representative women as a microcosm to illuminate the larger crisis of the Salem witch trials. By the end of the trials, beyond the twenty who were executed and the five who perished in prison, 207 individuals had been accused, 74 had been "afflicted," 32 had officially accused their fellow neighbors, and 255 ordinary people had been inexorably drawn into that ruinous and murderous vortex, and this doesn't include the religious, judicial, and governmental leaders. All this adds up to what the Rev. Cotton Mather called "a desolation of names." The individuals involved are too often reduced to stock characters and stereotypes when accuracy is sacrificed to indignation. And although the flood of names and detail in the history of an extraordinary event like the Salem witch trials can swamp the individual lives involved, individuals still deserve to be remembered and, in remembering specific lives, modern readers can benefit from such historical intimacy. By examining the lives of six specific women, Marilynne Roach shows readers what it was like to be present throughout this horrific time and how it was impossible to live through it unchanged.

"This study is the first examination of Jesuit prison ministry in the Holy Roman Empire during the period of witch trials. It provides new insights into the prisons where the persons detained for witchcraft were incarcerated, as well as into their trials, including their torture and executions — as seen through Jesuit eyes. In this context, the Cautio Criminalis appeared, written by Friedrich Spee SJ (1591–1635), dealing with the question of the legality of these trials and the related prison ministry, and printed pseudonymously in 1631 and again in 1632. For the first time, the book offers a complete biography of Spee, who was nearly forced to leave the Society of Jesus; it outlines the book’s publication, and provides a detailed analysis of the Jesuit prison visits. The book also details Spee’s criticism of prison ministers, as well as his arguments about the guilt or innocence of the imprisoned, tortured and executed women and men of this tragic period in European history." --
