A hundred years ago, a witch sold her soul to save her life--but now she must stop the devil from collecting his due in this gripping and nuanced debut horror novel. The devil was as my mother and grandmother had always described him: polite enough that you might forget yourself, so beautiful that you'd want to, so dangerous if you did. Attacked by the man she desired and at the brink of death, Tess Wynne vowed she would do anything to live--and the devil heard her. Their bargain meant she would remain ageless and tethered to the land she nearly died on, at the edge of the isolated Appalachian town of Burrsville. Her home is now a wildlife sanctuary, and the spells she's woven keep the land and community safe. But then Tess rescues an orphaned fawn with unnatural appetites, and her instinct to protect this strange creature puts her at odds with Burrsville's residents. And when a new pastor comes to town and begins chipping away at the trust she's gained, threatening the sanctuary and its animals, the careful edges of Tess's world begin to fray. The devil whispers in her ear that he can save the sanctuary if she'll just pay his price, and Tess must decide if she'll trust in her own magic to save what she loves--or surrender to his will.
C. N. Vair (she/her) is a horror and dark fantasy author living in western New York. A former journalist, she's interested in the history and haunted corners of small towns, the magic and malice of the natural world, and power in all its forms. When she's not writing, you can find her wandering in woods and cemeteries, growing poisonous plants in her garden, or spending time with her husband and dogs.
