The Curses We Keep

by Dakota J. Miller
No reviews yet. Be the first.

The York family believed distance would save them.

Fleeing the pyres of Salem in 1692, they sought refuge in Carolina's sultry lowcountry, desperate to escape the witch trial hysteria that had consumed their neighbors. But in their new Charleston homestead, the nightmares begin anew. Spectral figures drift through moonlit rooms. Livestock perish in inexplicable numbers. And young Cassandra York sees what others cannot—or will not—acknowledge.

Something followed them from Salem.

As Cassandra delves into her family's guarded history, she uncovers the horrifying truth: a witch's vengeance, sworn in blood and flame, has bound the York bloodline to an eternal cycle of torment. Each generation inherits the curse anew. And now, in this remote colonial outpost, the reckoning has come due.

The Curses We Keep emerges as a forgotten masterwork of Southern Gothic terror that chills to the marrow.
