A spooky standalone mystery about a witch coming into her ancestral powers. When Beth Bayliss is ripped from her cozy foster family and sent to live with her stern great-aunt Erica, she thinks life can’t get any worse. Her new home, Moss Manor, seems to groan from the inside out, and the walls whisper an unnatural curse at night. Making friends at Mossbrook School isn’t any easier than living in the manor. Especially when the village teems with secrets. And when Beth discovers a shocking local murder, she’s plunged into a mystery that twists deeper than the roots of the menacing trees outside her bedroom window. Beth must unlock her hidden magic if she wants to lift the curse haunting the village. But can she defeat the whispering dark? Or will it swallow her whole?
