THE EMANCIPATION OF GILES COREY
THE EMANCIPATION OF GILES COREY,
Michael Sortomme’s first historical novel, won the Indie Excellence Award for Best Historical Fiction of 2011 and garnered an Honorable Mention for the Hoffer Award, including a finalist spot for the Montaigne Medal.
Thriller, spiritual mystery, historical fiction, or truth revealed, Emancipation promises a non-stop ride of spiritual proportions.
The Emancipation of Giles Corey is a complicated tale of reincarnation, responsibility and redemption. Twenty-first-century Salem still guarded the secrets of lies and violence, torture and blackmail—even premeditated murder—that took place during the Witch Trials of 1692. Behind the gaudy museums and shops, the crowded bus tours of local haunts, the seemingly upright Colonial families dating back to the settling of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, festered a conspiracy of longstanding guilt and purely human greed. Only one woman knew of the Family Confederacy—Sophie St. Cloud, whose connection to the Salem Witch Trials is part magickal, part personal. Travel from Oregon wine country to the graveyards of New England for a spellbinding read you will not soon forget.
