<strong><em>A town gripped by fear. A woman accused of witchcraft. Who can save Pale Harbor from itself?</em></strong> <p/><em>Maine 1846</em>. Gabriel Stone is desperate to escape the ghosts that haunt him in Massachusetts after his wife's death so he moves to Maine taking a position as a minister in the remote village of Pale Harbor. <p/>But not all is as it seems in the sleepy town. Strange unsettling things have been happening and the townspeople claim that only one person can be responsible: Sophronia Carver a reclusive widow who lives with a spinster maid in the eerie Castle Carver. Sophronia must be a witch and she almost certainly killed her husband. <p/>As the incidents escalate one thing becomes clear: they are the work of a twisted person inspired by the wildly popular stories of Mr. Edgar Allan Poe. And Gabriel must find answers or Pale Harbor will suffer a fate worthy of Poe's darkest tales. <p/>Hester Fox comes to writing from a background in the museum field as a collections maintenance technician.
