Girl with a Knife Book One: Assault

Book 1: A horrific assault on her younger sister launches
seventeen-year-old Faythe Emily Wentworth to seek vengeance and protect her
family at all costs. In the first book
of a five-book series, Assault, we
are shown life in Massachusetts Bay Colony in the late 1600s, where an uneasy
peace between the natives and the White people has opened the land for
settlement, most notably by the Downing family. The Downings hold the
townspeople in their sway, both financially and spiritually, stoking fears of
witchcraft and devil worship. Faythe Wentworth, the strong and independent
heroine of the series, has only her wits and her knife to save her.
