**"Steeped in Gothic eeriness."--Nicola Cornick, USA Today bestselling
author
In Salem, they burned. Now, they will rise.**
New Oldbury, 1821
The house holds its breath, trying to outlast me...
Something has awakened in Willow Hall. Eighteen-year-old Lydia Montrose
can feel it. But she has no idea what it is.
Rocked by rumor and scandal, Lydia, her parents, and her sisters,
Catherine and Emeline, fled their sparkling life in Boston for the
sleepy country estate. But bone-chilling noises in the night have Lydia
convinced their idyllic new home wasn't exactly vacant when they
arrived.
The Salem witch trials cast a long shadow over the Montrose family as
the cloying heat of summer in Massachusetts mingles with something
sinister in the air. The sprawling history of Willow Hall is no stranger
to secrets, and its dark past soon calls to Lydia, igniting ancient
magic she never knew she possessed. But with menacing forces unwilling
to rest, threatening to tear her family apart, Lydia must learn to
harness her newly discovered power or risk losing everyone she holds
dear.
