A Witch. A Serial Killer. And two very pissed off cats.

But her morbid love for the season is quickly turns to an agitated distress when a masked killer breaks loose in the Halloween maze on her farm. She can feel the blood pooling on the ground like its staining her own skin because she has a secret: she's a witch.

As the bodies begin to pile up Darcy's patience begins to fray. She knows it isn't her place to insert herself in the investigation, but the land demands her power. It's both her legacy and a curse, forcing Darcy towards a precipice of what she is willing to risk in order to save lives.

Join Darcy and her two familiars, Gin and Tonic, on the chase to stop this masked killer before he disappears.
