#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts--hailed by
Publishers Weekly as "a storyteller of immeasurable diversity and
talent"--presents the first novel in her Three Sisters Island trilogy.
When Nell Channing arrives on charming Three Sisters Island, she
believes that she's finally found refuge from her abusive husband--and
from the terrifying life she fled so desperately eight months ago....
But even in this quiet, peaceful place, Nell never feels entirely at
ease. Careful to conceal her true identity, she takes a job as a cook at
the local bookstore café--and begins to explore her feelings for the
island sheriff, Zack Todd. But there is a part of herself she can never
reveal to him, for she must continue to guard her secrets if she wants
to keep the past at bay. One careless word, one misplaced confidence,
and the new life she's so carefully created could shatter completely.
Just as Nell starts to wonder if she'll ever be able to break free of
her fear, she realizes that the island suffers under a terrible
curse--one that can only be broken by the descendants of the Three
Sisters, the witches who settled the island back in 1692. And now, with
the help of two other strong, gifted women--and the nightmares of the
past haunting her every step--she must find the power to save her home,
her love...and herself.
