Summary

A large coven of witches arrive in Salem for the first full lunar eclipse of the winter solstice in over three hundred years. Winston is drugged to make him their slave. His prison record only allows him work as a grave digger. The witches encourage Winston to steal grave goods to be used in their curses and charms. He is found quite intoxicated; in possession of a large quantity of stolen jewelry. Winston is sentenced to be executed. The witches give him a strange potion that mimics death. The authorities bury him thinking he is already dead. The rare lunar eclipse during the winter solstice passes. He emerges from the grave a changed person. He is in the form of a large mischievous cat that changes back into a man during the full moon. His second-sight ability allows him to gamble and become quite rich. His demons make him become a monstrous beast when his life is threatened.A witch called Willia has a seance to call on the spirit of a warlock named Sir Christopher Cain Warren that was part of the lost Roanoke expedition. His magic is so powerful that he takes over to make the Salem coven his own. Warren plans to make the New World his new dominion. The question is how to stop Warren to make magic work in their favor again?
