Zee Finch returns to Salem, Massachusetts, where her psychic abilities make her both sought after and feared. The town still bears the weight of its witch trial history, and Zee finds herself caught between the living and the dead. Strange occurrences plague Salem as banshee wails echo through the night, warning of deaths to come. Zee must navigate her complicated relationship with her grandmother Rose, a powerful local figure, while confronting the supernatural forces that threaten the community. As the boundary between past and present blurs, Zee discovers that her gifts come with a price she never expected to pay. The story weaves together family secrets, Celtic mythology, and Salem's dark legacy as Zee struggles to understand her place in a world where the supernatural feels more real than everyday life.
