María Martínez’s first novel.
There is no magic more powerful than love. A fascinating novel about the power of the past and the force of destiny. When her mother dies in a terrible car accident, Abby’s life changes completely. Taken in by a mysterious man who claims to be her father, she settles in the town of Lostwick, in southern Maine, and believes she has found the life she had always longed for: now she has friends, family, and a place to belong. But this new world may not be as idyllic as Abby believes. There is something about those around her that makes her distrustful, terrible nightmares torment her, and the feeling of being watched threatens to drive her crazy. Danger is terrifyingly close and lurks like the shadow of a raven in the darkness. Everything seems to revolve around the attractive and irritating Nathan, an enigmatic boy with whom she will have to discover the truth of what is happening, confront the past, and face an relentless destiny that comes to collect on promises made centuries ago.
