Your Blood, My Bones
by
When Wyatt returns to her childhood home, Willow Heath, upon the death of her estranged father, she expects to find sagging boards and overgrown gardens, not her childhood friend Peter shackled in the basement. For generations, Wyatt’s family has held Willow Heath and its gardens as a ward against the dark things that lurk in the nearby forest. But every summer growing up, Wyatt returned home to spend several months running around the farm with her two best friends: clever and suave James and quiet, mysterious Peter. Now with the last greenskeeper, Wyatt’s father, gone, the wards have begun to fall, and the monsters creep closer. With the help of James and Peter, Wyatt must face the torments, betrayals, and horrors that have been done at Willow Heath in the name of keeping their world safe. But not all is as it appears, and the three childhood friends have their own secrets to keep from one another. Tense and chilling, twin themes of love and sacrifice lie at the heart of this romantic fantasy novel.
