A Silent Scream prequel. The year is 1922, and Cora Culpepper’s life in the Texas countryside is peaceful, quiet, and only ever as magical as her older sister allows it to be. When Xavier Ash shows up for an impromptu summer visit, Cora doesn’t really expect anything to change - she imagines that he’ll help prepare for the solstice, go through her mother’s old diaries, and spend most of his time with Kate. Cora is, of course, wrong about nearly all of that.
