Dark Sisters

Description

“A BONFIRE, A BEACON, A BALM, A RALLYING CRY… A beautifully written, mesmerizing horror epic… Magnificent.” – Rachel Harrison, New York Times bestselling author of Play Nice

In this fiercely captivating novel, horror meets historical fiction when a curse bridges generations, binding the fates of three women. Anne Bolton, a healer facing persecution for witchcraft, bargains with a dark entity for protection–but the fire she unleashes will reverberate for centuries. Mary Shephard, a picture-perfect wife in a suffocating community, falls for Sharon and begins a forbidden affair that could destroy them both. And Camilla Burson, the rebellious daughter of a preacher, defies conformist expectations to uncover an ancient power as her father’s flock spirals into crisis.

Three women. Three centuries. One legacy of fury, love, and a power that refuses to die.

“A hauntingly beautiful exploration of revenge, feminine rage, and the secrets that bind women across time… Frightening, subversive, and provocative.” – Sarah Penner, New York Times bestselling author The Lost Apothecary
