Synopsis

Watch Over Me: A Witch's Tale follows the unraveling of witchcraft in the fictional New England village of Warren Hollow. Protagonist Emelie Williams becomes less content with her simple existence as she approaches the transition from childhood to adulthood. There must be more to life than chores and abiding by restrictions. Year after year the village continues to decline, struggling through harsh winters and now trapped in the middle of witch hysteria.

Perhaps this desire for a better life among Emelie and her friends is shaped by Rose Adie, the village's primary apothecary. Rose is a free spirit, a wonderful individual who has befriended all the children and taught them to lead their own lives. And to the surprise of none, Rose is the first to be accused of witchcraft when it inevitably spreads to this peaceful village.

And so our tale begins. All Hallows Eve approaches and chaos has hit Warren Hollow. Emelie and her friends soon find themselves engulfed in the witch hunt first-hand, facing unimaginable cruelties and hardship at the order of Reverend Thomas, an arrogant and savage head of the church. Court officials and parents have fallen silent as Thomas leads the charge in cleansing the village of bewitchment, all in the name of faith.

Through the eyes of the damned, join Emelie and her friends on this dark tale of witchcraft. Discover the struggle with faith, abuse of power, adolescence, unprovable innocence, freedom, murder, deception, and all the pain that surrounds these unfortunate occurrences in history.
