A Gothic tale of grief, obsession, and the perilous comfort of solitude.
History does love to repeat itself.
Widdershin Isle-cursed by locals, forgotten by history.
Violet Bow accepts a quiet position cataloguing the vast library at Widdershin House, hoping for a fresh start. But the island is not the solitude she expects. Creatures scratch within the walls. The wind wails like a woman in mourning. Ghosts roam the fog. And the long-dead mistress of the house-branded a witch and hunted by her husband-still whispers through its decaying halls.
As Violet uncovers lost journals, hidden root cellars, and warnings buried beneath centuries of ivy and fear, she begins to see echoes of her own life reflected in the island's grim past. But the more she learns, the more the house seems to breathe, to watch, to want.
When Violet's past finally catches up with her, she must decide what kind of woman she'll be-the dutiful wife the world expects, or something far more dangerous.
