Like Stones on a Crow's Back

All deals come with a price. Hers is almost due.

One year ago, Ramsey Kopperud made an impossible bargain to save her dying father. Since then, she's lived in quiet terror, waiting for Sebastian – the ancient figure from the forest – to return and collect what's owed. But Ramsey isn't the only one haunted by that deal. Something else is stirring in the woods, something older and even more vengeful.

As the town teeters on the edge of something unspeakable, Ramsey begins to uncover a horrifying truth: the curse didn't begin with her. Decades earlier, a young farmer fell under the spell of a beautiful witch, and the choices he made in the shadow of that love are about to unleash consequences that reach far beyond any one life.

Now the forest wants blood. And Ramsey must face not only the monster she made a deal with – but the one that's been waiting in silence ever since.

Like Stones on a Crow's Back is the second book in the Deal Trilogy – a dark, layered tale of generational horror, twisted love, and the consequences of playing with fate.
