Librarian's Note: this is an alternate cover edition - ASIN: B00NG5CLTE Ever since its earliest days, the small English village of Heargton has been steeped in the occult. Tales of witchcraft and paranormal activity have been part of the local folklore for generations. Some people blame the lay lines that intersect at the very centre of the village, others blame a terrible curse. 700 years on, Heargton Village still holds dark secrets, and when one of the village girls falls victim to a terrible ritual killing, the old superstitions resurface. At the heart of these whispers are the Meadowsweet sisters. All beautiful, all charming, all eccentric, but it is the middle daughter, seventeen-year-old Fox, who captures the imagination of American newcomer Jeremiah Chase; a deviant New York playboy sent to live with his Aunt in the Chase ancestral home of Coldstone Hall. A place that has its own grisly history. But, as Jeremiah discovers the history of the Meadowsweet Sisters, the Chase family history is also unearthed, leading Jeremiah to understand that good and evil are not always on opposing sides. A tale of witchcraft, demons and ghosts, blending traditional English folklore with the American Gothic.

A Tale of Modern Witchcraft, 'The Meadowsweet Chronicles' is an epic seven book series that blends English and American folklore. As the Meadowsweet sisters prepare to say their final goodbye to their sister, Swan, Jeremiah Chase is left with only ghosts for company. Grappling to come to terms with the curse of his bloodline, and his feelings for Fox Meadowsweet, Jeremiah is near broken. Then, his sister is kidnapped and he is forced to make a terrible choice - one soul for another. With the Heargton covens officially at war, and a Witch Hunter waiting to destroy them all, it is only a matter of time before the power of darkness is invoked. Only darkness often comes in disguise: a handsome, beautiful disguise.
