Witches of the County Essex. Blackmore A.K.

England, 1643. The whole country is covered by Puritan fervor. In the small city of Manning's after the war, there were no men left at all, and in the hearts of women who are left to themselves, the horror of the curse is burning.

Rebecca West, who lives with a mother alone, suffers from a dreary routine, which only occasionally revives her Passion for beautiful young clerk John Ids. But here a new figure appears on the chessboard of Manningtri - none other than Matthew Hopkins.

A mysterious, pious person, dressed from head to toe in black, he becomes the owner of the inn and begins to be interested in what women do in the backyard of this wretched community.

Dangerous rumors about sabbath, conspiracy and witchcraft are now threatened by women like Rebecca... and the future of Manningtry, which is equally scared and exciting, is in the hands of one person.
