Title Slewfoot
Author Brom
Summary A spirited young Englishwoman, Abitha, arrives at a Puritan colony betrothed to a stranger – only to become quickly widowed when her husband dies under mysterious circumstances. All alone in this pious and patriarchal society, Abitha fights for what little freedom she can grasp onto, while trying to stay true to herself and her past.

Enter Slewfoot, a powerful spirit of antiquity newly woken ... and trying to find his own role in the world. Healer or destroyer? Protector or predator? But as the shadows walk and villagers start dying, a new rumor is whispered: Witch.

Both Abitha and Slewfoot must swiftly decide who they are, and what they must do to survive in a world intent on hanging any who meddle in the dark arts.

Notes This is my second time reading this title, as I read it first back in 2021 when it was published. I'm reading it this time as an audiobook, which is historically not a method I like. I haven't had the energy to read anything since the new year though, so I'm hoping that this reignites my interest. So much is going on at work that breaks up my normal routine and doesn't allow me the time to read anymore. I'm hoping in a few months this evens out, and I can get back into my reading routine again.
