Klappentext

Amidst the unique landscape and history of French Newfoundland, rumours of the supernatural and a sudden death unearth family secrets.

After the unexpected death of her grandmother, Mary inherits her property and returns home to western Newfoundland with her young son. When she uncovers curious items that may be clues about her grandmother's fate, Mary begins to unravel the secrets surrounding a string of suspicious disappearances and deaths in the community--deaths that always seem to involve women.

Demons from the past catch up with Mary as she learns of her grandmother's isolation from her peers. Discovering stories of witchcraft and rumours of the supernatural, she attempts to piece together her family's story--a story that may have led to her grandmother's death. When someone else goes missing, Mary must act quickly to untangle the strings of fact and fiction, or risk drowning in the same rumours that haunted those before her.
