When young Daniel Whitman is killed at a high-school party, the community is ripped apart. The death of Sanctuary’s star quarterback seems to be a tragic accident, but everyone knows his ex-girlfriend Harper Fenn is the daughter of a witch-and she was there when he died. Was Daniel’s death an accident, revenge, or something more sinister? As accusations fly, paranoia grips the town, culminating in a witch-hunt…and the town becomes no sanctuary at all. In this dark mystery, V. V. James weaves a spellbinding tale of a town cracking into pieces and the devastating power of a mother’s love.
