Salem Common

Introduction
Salem Common is a large, eight-acre park in downtown Salem. It is the sight of the Battle for Salem the climax of A Sacrifice for Salem.

ASFS
Joshua Hamilton brings Mary to the Common with the intention of using her as a 'sacrifice' to bring back Cassandra and the Witches of Old Salem from the dead. This proves partially successful when Mary is saved, but Florence Gale is instead killed, triggering the resurrection. This is, however, prevented by The Salem Four, resulting in the prevention of the Witches of Old Salem from coming back, save from Cassandra herself, who flees from the scene.

Trivia

 * The battle at Salem Common is foreshadowed in Chapter 4: The Rumour in Ash's dream, in which he sees Mary at the Common with her throat slit.
