God will give you blood to drink . . . An ordinary teenager finds out what witch-hunting is all about—in her own everyday world. Deliverance "Delli" Willis, a normal, almost-sixteen-year-old, finds herself dreaming wild dreams about a girl in 1692 who is also named Deliverance. And then, to Delli's amazement, the stuff of dreams appears in her classroom unit on the Salem Witch Trials! Is it just a coincidence when 1692 Deliverance finds herself entranced by a mysterious man in the woods, and then Delli finds a new and mysterious neighbor walking through her family avocado grove? Or when her dreams uncover similarities between both mystery men—and more? Delli's not sure what to believe, but she's eager to share the handsome newcomer with her circle of friends. What she doesn't realize is the danger of someone unique entering the closed loop. Fingers point, jealousies surge, lies are cast, sides taken—and people are out for blood. It's a modern-day witch-hunt that collides with 1692 in ways Delli never dreamed. It will take lessons from her dreamscape and a stand against bullies to tighten Delli's faith in God and pull her through some trials of her own.
