There are a dizzying number of characters and accusations in the scandal as just about everyone in the area was implicated or "afflicted." Yet by the end, my only complaint was that I still wanted more of Schiff's immersive tale and accompanying insights. But also how the initial accusations might not have sounded impossible narrated as fact, as it would have been in the courtroom, we can almost suspend disbelief of a flying broomstick. ![]() But Schiff helps us understand how that could happen - how a few manipulative (or evil, or power hungry, or, ok, just crazy) people's actions can spiral out of control. From our perspective, these people just seemed to go crazy.

The witches were also affected by the curse. A hunter who loses his soul is called a rogue hunter, and the rogues have teamed up to rid the earth of all witches. If a hunter gives in and kills a witch to harvest her blood, he loses his soul for all eternity. When the curse went awry, the terrible result was that now all witch hunters are compelled to crave the power contained in witch blood. Then, with assistance from the demon Asmodeus, three demon witches captured three hunters and tried to place a curse on them. ![]() Up until 30 years ago, the Wing Slayer Hunters and the earth witches were friends and allies against demon witches and the demons that possessed them.
