Publisher's Synopsis
Everybody in Marie Regina knows that Leah Falcon is devoted to her family. She busily arranges the lives of her brother John Price, flirtatious Edith, and Beth who bears the kiss of the devil. The arrival of Wenna Davis, the school teacher, twists the pattern into a new design, for Leah Falcon, the devoted wife and sister, will murder rather than lose her power. Beneath the facade of genteel respectability evil stalks where witches must learn to love or use their arts.
