A secret sanctuary. An ancient coven. The dead are finally speaking—and they are furious.

The gallows claimed nineteen lives in 1692. The earth claimed one more. Three centuries later, the ground is finally ready to give them back.

Elias Thorne is a historian haunted by the unmarked graves of the Salem Witch Trial victims. Driven by an obsession that borders on madness, he unearths their remains to build a secret sanctuary beneath his cottage: The Ossuary Oracle. But in giving the innocent a voice, Elias inadvertently wakes a darkness that has governed Salem from the shadows for three hundred years.

His act of reverence shatters the spiritual veil protecting the Coven of Old Salem. Led by the ruthless Julianna Blackwood, this secret society has woven dark magic into the city’s modern infrastructure—from zoning laws to elite bloodlines. To the Coven, Elias’s sanctuary isn’t a holy site; it’s a stolen battery of immense supernatural power.

To protect the fallen, the reclusive scholar must become a spectral sentinel. Joined by a librarian grappling with ancestral shame and an archivist wielding dangerous truths, Elias wages a war where zoning permits are as deadly as ancient curses. From the crushing weight of Giles Corey’s stones to the defiance of Bridget Bishop’s red silk, Elias must channel the tragic powers of the innocent to dismantle a centuries-old conspiracy.

The Chronicles of The Salem Bonekeeper is a pulse-pounding supernatural thriller that reimagines the legacy of 1692 not as a history lesson, but as a high-stakes battle for the soul of a city.

Reviews: Loved it! 😍
The Chronicles of The Salem Bonekeeper is a haunting triumph. Masse exceptionally weaves together elements of Tarot, history, divination and raw survival to create a story that leaves readers in awe of his talent. The story is flawlessly presented, characters are well developed, imagery is far beyond what one could dream of. -Jennifer Bailey - Reedsy Discovery
