The curse of the sea

When the bodies of young boys begin washing up on the shores of Sparrow Town, some residents wonder if the ancient legend of vengeful witches is true. But how far will this witch hunt lead?

Two centuries ago, three sisters were sentenced to death for allegedly committing witchcraft. Stones were tied to their ankles, and they drowned in the deep waters that border the city.

Now, for a brief period of time—every June 1st until the summer solstice—legend has it that the sisters return, stealing the bodies of three young girls so that, through them, they can seek their revenge by seducing and drowning boys to death.

Like many locals, Penny Talbot knows the legend by heart. But this year, as the town prepares for the sisters' annual return, a young man, Bo Carter, arrives in town seeking answers of his own. And Penny takes him in.

But when the bodies of local boys begin to appear on the coast, a climate of distrust and fear grips the town, triggering a veritable witch hunt.

The narrative alternates between thrilling present-day events and diary entries from young women convicted of witchcraft, resulting in the unforgettable supernatural thriller that is The Curse of the Sea .
