About this audiobook
THEY LEFT SEEKING SANCTUARY
THEY RETURNED SEEKING VENGEANCE
All of America knows what happened in Sanctuary - a boy lost his footing at a party and a town went mad with grief. But not everyone believes it.
Now Detective Maggie Knight is forced before a congressional hearing, following a revival of persecution that hasn't been seen since Salem.
Exiled witch Sarah Fenn and her daughter Harper fled, seeking refuge. Instead, they find hope carried on whispers of a dangerous magic and a centuries-old legend promising power.
Until a brutal magical crime throws them all back into the crucible.
Murder mystery meets dark fantasy in this scorching fusion of modern-day witchcraft, small-town secrets, and the persecuted reclaiming their power - perfect for fans of Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo, The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow, and Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson.
