Kat van Tassel lives in the shadow of her famous ancestor Katrina, but she wants out of Sleepy Hollow before the town's bicentennial celebration of the Headless Horseman legend. Everyone expects her to marry her boyfriend and manage the family estate, but Kat dreams of escape. Then Isadora arrives in town and changes everything. The new girl makes Kat question her assumptions about ghosts, her future, and her heart. When someone gives Kat the original Katrina's diary, she uncovers secrets that connect past and present in dangerous ways. The entries reveal a story different from the legend everyone believes.
