She even befriends a local boy, Joe Harper, whose secrets seem as tangled as hers. And for a while, their time together is magic. But when her father begins work on an ancient burial site Morgans bad dreams return. With every relic he unearths, she sees a creeping horror emerge. A binding curse that binds them all . . . The debut novel from the Times/Chicken House 2023 award winner, historian and professor Marisa Linton. A stand-alone YA contemporary fantasy novel with folk horror elements, set in a creepy rural village. Spells, legends, druids and all things supernatural.
