From the New York Times bestselling author of The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane comes a chilling mystery: the brew meets the crucible.

It's our last year at St. Joan's Academy, and the school is a pressure cooker. College applications, the battle for valedictorian, deciphering boys' texts: through it all, Colleen Rowley and her friends are supposed to hold on. Until they can't.

First it's the school's queen bee, Clara Rutherford, who suddenly falls into uncontrollable tics in the middle of class. His mysterious illness quickly spreads to his clique of closest friends, then other students and symptoms follow: seizures, hair loss, violent coughing fits. Sainte-Jeanne buzzes with rumors; the rumor turns into total panic.

Soon, the media descends on Danvers, Massachusetts, as everyone scrambles to find something, or someone, to blame. Pollution? Stress? Or are the girls pretending? Only Colleen, who read The Crucible for extra credit, realizes what no one else has: Danvers was once the village of Salem, where another group of girls suffered from an equally bizarre epidemic there. three centuries ago. . .

Inspired by real events, from 17th-century colonial life to the corridors of a modern high school, Conversion casts a spell. With her wit and passion, New York Times bestselling author Katherine Howe delivers a thrilling, suspenseful novel, a chilling mystery that begs the question: What is really happening to the girls at St. Joan's?
