Some things are best left buried.... When a wooden doll, a vase which has a strange mist inside it and an old journal are found in a trunk buried in the garden of the Williams family, fifteen year old Abi is surprised to learn that she is the only one able to read the book. Written by Abigail Williams of Salem Village, it gives an account of her life before, during and after the Salem Witch Crisis of 1692. However, Abi, and her brother, Ben, and sister, Nicola, soon realise that a malevolent force has been unleashed and suspicion falls on the wooden doll. As events threaten to spiral out of control, Abi and her friends try to contain the evil before it becomes too powerful.
