Part of The Cahill Witch Chronicles, book 3
First published 2014
A fever is burning through New London, and Cate Cahill can't stop it. Every healer in the Sisterhood knows a spell that could help, but the Brotherhood is hanging suspected witches, so using magic means death. Then Cate's power slips in public, and suddenly she is the most hunted witch in all of New England. That would be enough. It isn't all. Finn, the boy she loves, has had his memory wiped clean. He looks at her like a stranger. Cate watches him and has to decide whether to keep him at a distance for his own safety or try to make him fall for her again, knowing the danger that puts him in. Meanwhile, she cannot forgive her sister Maura for the betrayal that put everything at risk. And Tess, the youngest Cahill sister, is seeing something new in her visions. Something fatal. A prophecy has been circling the three of them for a long time, one that says a Cahill sister will kill another. Tess's visions are starting to point toward the moment that prophecy comes true.
