The Salem Anomaly: Time Rift Archives

By Zach Ferguson

Six people have vanished from Salem's history. No graves. No names. No memory that they ever existed.

When the Archive sends investigators Mara Farrow and Tobias Renn to Salem in 1692, the mission seems clear: find the mechanism behind the erasures, stop it before it claims another life. But the six who have disappeared weren't taken by the trials. They were removed deliberately - one by one - by someone who understands exactly how the historical record works.

Agnes Holton doesn't know her name is next on the list. She's a practical woman with warm hands and a direct way of speaking, and she has no idea that the physician newly arrived in the village has spent years engineering her destruction.

Dr. Elias Crane is not a monster. He is a father who has watched his daughter die eleven times and has finally traced the cause back to a land transaction in 1692 Salem. His logic is meticulous. His grief is real. And unless Mara and Toby can stop him before the execution date arrives, Agnes Holton will become the seventh name erased from a history that will never know she was missing.

But the deeper they dig, the more the investigation reveals - about who Crane really is, about the organization that trained him, and about the fact that the Archive may not be the only group protecting the timeline.

The Salem Anomaly is the first book in the Time Rift Archives series - historical mysteries at the intersection of the past and the present, where the investigators tasked with protecting history are as complicated as the timelines they navigate.
