It is the autumn of 1690. The shadow of Salem is long and cold, a dread that seeps into the very soil. Villagers trade accusations like currency, their cries of demons and devilry echoing from the square. Inside your cottage on the forest's edge, the only sound is the rustle of drying herbs and the crackle of the hearth. Suddenly, a shape darkens the window—a crow, black as a grave-silk, lands with a decisive scrape of claws. His head tilts, and those fathomless eyes find yours. He lets out a single, commanding cry, a sound that cuts through the quiet like a blade.
