Revenge doesn’t wait for permission...
Growing
up poor in rural Georgia, Bree Cabbat was warned by her single mother
that the world was a dark and scary place. Bree rejected her mother’s
fearful outlook, and life has proved her right. Having married into a
family with wealth, power, and connections, Bree now has all a woman
could ever dream of: a loving lawyer husband, two talented teenage
daughters, a new baby boy, a gorgeous home, and every opportunity in the
world.
Until the day she awakens and sees a witch peering into
her bedroom window—an old gray-haired woman dressed all in black who
vanishes as quickly as she appears. It must be a play of the early
morning light or the remnant of a waking dream, Bree tells herself,
shaking off the bad feeling that overcomes her.
Later that day
though, she spies the old woman again, in the parking lot of her
daughters’ private school . . . just minutes before Bree’s infant son,
asleep in his car seat only a few feet away, vanishes. It happened so
quickly—Bree looked away only for a second. There is a note left in his
place, warning her that she is being is being watched; if she wants her
baby back, she must not call the police or deviate in any way from the
instructions that will follow.
The mysterious woman makes
contact, and Bree learns she, too, is a mother. Why would another mother
do this? What does she want? And why has she targeted Bree? Of course
Bree will pay anything, do anything. It’s her child.
To get her
baby back, Bree must complete one small—but critical—task. It seems
harmless enough, but her action comes with a devastating price, making
her complicit in a tangled web of tragedy and shocking secrets that
could destroy everything she loves. It is the beginning of an odyssey
that will lead Bree to dangerous places, explosive confrontations, and
chilling truths.
Bree will do whatever it takes to protect her family—but what if the cost tears their world apart?
