The Blackthorn Women (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662535260)

A terrible family curse threatens four generations of women in a spellbinding novel of haunting secrets, magic, and healing by the Edgar Award-nominated author of The Taken Ones.

After her husband's infidelity, devastated Katrine Blackthorn reluctantly returns to Faith Falls, Minnesota, to her family's Queen Anne mansion on the hill and the magic that binds them all.

Her grandmother Velda charms everyone she meets. Her mother, Ursula, is a brewer of potions who sees a threat around every corner. And there's her estranged sister, Jasmine, broken by something no one will name. With Katrine's return, all that the Blackthorns have feared seems to be manifesting. The snakes amassing with the spring thaw and the stranger who's rolled into town are just the first omens threatening the fragile peace the family is rebuilding.

Now Katrine must face the darkest secret of her lineage and rediscover her own magic if the Blackthorn women are to survive.
