Darkwater

A spellbinding novel that will leave you questioning the true nature of sacrifice and redemption.

“Atmospheric landscapes, fast-moving parallel plotlines, and thoughtful meditations on the nature of good, evil, mortality, loyalty, and sacrifice combine for a page-turner a cut above the usual ghost story.”—Booklist

“A dark but graceful parable of temptation, pride, revenge and hope.”—Kirkus Reviews
