"An atmospheric, blood-drenched dark fantasy for a cold and stormy night." Kirkus ReviewsFrom the author of The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender comes a haunting tale of magic and murder.
When Rona Blackburn landed on Anathema Island more than a century ago, her otherworldly skills might have benefited friendlier neighbors.
It\'s coming for Nor..
And such magic always requires a sacrifice.
A storm is coming.
The author - Nor\'s own mother - seems capable of performing magic that should be far beyond her capabilities.
But then a mysterious book comes out, promising to cast any spell for the right price.
And she has reason to hope that she may have escaped the thorny side-effects of the family matriach\'s curse.
Fast-forward to the present day and all Nor Blackburn wants is to live an unremarkable teenage life.
But such a spell always comes with a terrible price, and in punishing the island\'s residents, Rona also bound her family ever tighter to them.
So Rona invoked the privileges of a witch; she cursed them.
Instead, guilt and fear led the island\'s original eight settlers to burn "the witch" out of her home. "An atmospheric, blood-drenched dark fantasy for a cold and stormy night."
