Horror that happens in the past is not finished wreaking havoc on the present in this chilling read where fears come to be real danger for one South Carolina community's highest members. At the start of the nineteenth century, a girl approaches the town's constable, William, and accuses the powerful O'Neill family of witchcraft. She is quickly dismissed, but Bridget, a bright nurse and William's love interest, soon convinces him that the girl is telling the truth. An investigation commences, and William and Bridget join forces to unravel the mystery. As they navigate the increasingly sinister facts, the duo finds out what evil is. They are soon forced to keep secrets to stay safe...only to learn that others will pay the price. Confronting their own terrors, William and Bridget discover that not everything is what it seems-sometimes, it's darker. This haunting story revels in our fears and the strange things we can't explain. Recipient of the Literary Titan's Book Award in October 2024.
