In a small New England town, several women have been targeted by a secret society of witch hunters. Inspired by generations of superstition, these witch hunters are convinced that witches are evil-and must be destroyed. But who is the real source of evil? The girls born with unique talents for healing as well as harm? Or the "normal" humans who murder them? "Ed Gorman writes like a dream even when he's recounting nightmares. His fiction grips, entertains, and resonates in memory long after you close his books." (Dean Koontz)
