Ellie Dare Lancaster is only eight years old, but the secret she carries
stretches back four hundred years, to the doomed pioneer colony of
Roanoke Island--and the dark pact made by her ancestor, Ananias Dare.
Though her father has told Ellie of her heritage, and she knows she will
one day become a Curse Keeper, she never dreamed how soon that day would
come...or how dear a sacrifice her grim duty will demand.
After impulsively sharing the truth about her destiny with her best
friend, Ellie fears she has summoned something dreadful, something that
cannot be denied. But it's her parents' discovery of an
eighteenth-century artifact--linked to the mystery of the vanished North
Carolina settlers--that brings fear, and murder, into their once safe
and happy home. Now, the unholy forces unleashed at the dawn of a new
nation stir once more, to challenge another generation fated to wage the
war between gods of good and evil.
A short story, This Changes Everything delves deeper into the world of
Ellie Lancaster and the Curse Keeper series!
