When an ominous purple fog marks a new set of twins, it reawakens a blood feud.
New Jersey, 1738. Peddler Sage Arsenault returns to the place of his youth determined to win a property auction and restore his family's reputation. But David Scry, once his friend and now the heir to the region's most powerful family, vows to oppose him. Sage cannot understand David's malice, but he recognizes the echoes of the past from the infamous tale of the Scry twins. Telling of the birth of David and his sister in an earlier fog - and her death at the hands of Sage's uncle.
Then Sage's wife Mara bears her own twins and the tale casts its shadow over a new generation. Sage champions the girl-twin, born with severe deformities, in the face of rampant superstition. At the same time, his rivalry with David escalates into mob violence with a public whipping, a kidnapping, and a wolf-rout.
Now he will stop at nothing to unearth secrets buried in the old tale. Secrets that could explain his former friend's hostility and the condition of Mara's child, or could doom them all...
Epic, eerie, and hauntingly American, The Tale of the Scry Twins is a novel about the place of family in our lives.
