Synopsis

Sometimes the past refuses to remain buried.

Salem, Massachusetts, has built a thriving industry of tourism on the foundations of its dark past. But, beneath the seaside charm, bewitching shops, and seasonal surge of witches and thrill-seekers, the ancient darkness still lurks.

When Skye purchases an historic house in Salem, she steps into a world of ancient magick as her arrival triggers a series of shocking events. Her dormant powers surface the night she stumbles on a hidden room in her new home and uncovers a skeleton, a cloth-wrapped knife, and an ancient journal.

Unbeknownst to Skye, her family’s past is interwoven with the darkness and as she struggles with her newfound powers, the malevolent force that has haunted Salem for centuries stirs and begins a rampage of blood and death.

Haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his mother during a ritual three decades ago, local police officer Jerome Phips, is shocked when he learns the skeleton found belongs to his mother. Bound by a shared destiny, Skye and Jerome must unravel the dark secrets of Salem’s past and defeat the dark force that threatens to destroy Salem.

In this spellbinding tale of destiny and the eternal battle between light and darkness, Skye must learn to embrace her birth task, while Jerome struggles with the ghosts of his past.

Will they succeed, or will the town once again fall prey to the shadows that lurk beneath the surface?

About this title

About the Author

Books have fueled my imagination since reading the Black Stallion series when I was younger. Never thinking that I could actually write a book, I sat down and began anyway. I now have 5 published books and more on the way, all of them with a theme of myths, legends, romance or fantasy. I am fortunate enough to live on a farm filled with animals to love and care for and mornings at the barnyard and time spent with my animals is what helps motivate me to write. Please check out my website to see what novels and short stories I have available. www.writesbooks.wix.com/cathywalker
