About The Witching Elm:
At a Boston school brimming with centuries’ worth of magical secrets, New England’s buried past rises up to grab the present by the throat.
Fiona Forzese walks the halls of prestigious Mather Academy with a deep yearning for a more exciting life. Her wish is suddenly granted when she meets an intriguing new student named Toby Corvin—who just happens to be a sorcerer. Toby soon introduces Fiona to an astonishing universe of ancient spells, talking ravens, and sinister bone wardens.
When a deadly army from Toby’s strange world descends upon Boston, he and Fiona race desperately to stop the slaughter. In the process, they face unspeakable danger while unearthing New England’s darkest secrets.
About the setting: The majority of the book takes place in modern Boston. The opening and ending are set in Maremount, an alternate version of Boston that sorcerers created after the Salem Witch Trials. At the start of the book, the main character, Toby, escapes from a civil war in Maremount and flees to an old school in the center of downtown Boston for his own safety.
