THE ONLY THING STRONGER THAN A WITCH'S PROMISE IS A MOTHER'S VENGEANCE

Sarah loves and trusts no-one in her close-knit coven more than her dearest friend Abigail.

Until Abigail's son dies at a house party and Sarah's daughter is accused of murdering him.

As the entire town of Sanctuary succumbs to the poison of prejudice and paranoia, Sarah realises what is about to happen - for the first time in centuries.

It's not just a murder investigation.

It's a witch hunt.

Murder mystery meets dark fantasy in this twisting portrayal modern-day witchcraft, and a friendship and community consumed by suspicion - perfect for fans of Big Little Lies, Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo and Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson.
