The Witches of New Salem Books in Order

The Witches of New Salem is Apryl Baker's paranormal young adult series set in a town where witchcraft is not a story people tell to scare visitors. It is part of the community's history, power structure, and danger. The series opens with The 13th Daughter and continues with The 1st Daughter.

Cassie Jayne Bishop grew up in New Salem as the one person who did not believe in the Coven's power. That certainty begins to crack when a stranger arrives, old clues about her sister's death start adding up, and Cassie realizes the town's past may be far more personal than she thought.

Believing is not the same as being safe.

The first book combines a mystery about Cassie's family with visions of an ancestor's terrible fate. Fire, smoke, and the history of New Salem press in on the present, making Cassie question whether she can escape the pattern that trapped people before her. Ethan's arrival adds both romantic tension and another reason to doubt the stories she has always accepted.

The series has echoes of Baker's earlier Coven books, but it works as a fresh entry into New Salem and its witch lore. The focus is on Cassie's search for the truth, the influence of a powerful coven leader, and the way a supposedly sleepy town can hide generations of betrayal and fear.

New Salem remembers everything.

The tone is fast-moving, spooky, and romantic, with a strong small-town paranormal feel. Readers who like witches, family secrets, creepy visions, and a heroine who has to question her whole understanding of home will find plenty to follow here.

Start with The 13th Daughter. It establishes Cassie, the town, the Coven, and the mystery that drives the series. Continue with The 1st Daughter to follow the next stage of the New Salem story. Reading in order is the best way to keep the family history and supernatural stakes clear.
