Publisher's Synopsis
Charlie Rhodes has the one thing she always wanted but was afraid to admit. The parents who gave her up for adoption are back in her life, but the transition from orphan to adult child isn't going to be an easy one. Before she can commit to the process, however, a new job pops up for the Legacy Foundation and she's whisked away to upstate Washington.
A group of teens celebrating graduation and preparing for college have gone missing in Nighthawk, a former boomtown that has exactly one resident, a crazy old bootlegger who wanders the area dropping ominous warnings before disappearing into the darkness.
The Legacy Foundation is called out when several bodies are found, all with the sort of injuries that can't be easily explained, and local law enforcement officials find themselves stumped. From the first day at the town, Charlie knows they're in trouble as the memories of one of the missing teens threaten to overwhelm her. Is the girl still alive? Did she fall with the others and simply hasn't been found? More importantly, what are they dealing with?
The specter of an evil witch hangs over Charlie and she's eager for something else to focus on. Unfortunately, that's easier said than done when it becomes apparent that Sybil knows exactly where they are.
There's more than one killer in the Washington woods, and both serve as a significant threat to Charlie. She'll need to overcome two threats to keep her team safe ... and figure out the one thing that's so far evaded her.
What does Sybil want? You're about to find out, and the answer might shake the foundation of everything Charlie believes she knows.
