The Herron House is one of the most exclusive luxury wedding venues in Massachusetts. It also happens to be where Anna Herron, the monstrous Herron Witch of local lore, was caught red-handed performing human sacrifices in 1660. Even now, the Herron Witch's ghostly presence is said to roam the house's long-shuttered South Wing, hell-bent on finishing the bloody ritual she started.

As an amateur ghost-hunter and history aficionado, Lydia Wyrick has been obsessed with the Herron House for as long as she can remember.

When Lydia is offered a part-time job at the Herron House, she's thrilled to fully immerse herself in all the witchy history she loves. The catch? She'll be working with Ben Wysse, a descendant of Anna Herron (and Lydia's longtime unrequited crush). But Lydia's crush isn't as one-sided as she thought, and as she and Ben grow closer, it's all too easy to forget the danger lurking just beyond the locked door to the South Wing.

The door to which Ben receives the key on his eighteenth birthday as part of his dark inheritance. The door that, when the time comes, Lydia and Ben can't resist opening.

It's a mistake that could cost Lydia and Ben their lives. Because the Herron Witch is ready to finish what she started—even in death.

Horrors lurk in the marshlands off the Oregon coast.
Not all of them are human.

1843 New York. Sarah Eaton hides a desperate desire for her best friend Ada. But soon the inevitable happens—the lively Ada marries and leaves Sarah rotting at home as a twenty-two-year-old spinster. Heartbroken, Sarah takes the only option available to her—she marries a speculator and sets sail for the Oregon territory.

But Sarah's husband is a brute. Violent and ruthless in getting what he wants—a wife who obeys and a mercantile empire in a new land, no matter the cost. Isolated and fighting off starvation on the Oregon coast, their young settlement is soon fraught with a new terror.

A monster hunts the shores. And it's hungry for human flesh.

Nineteen years later, the willful Kate Ashbee has been kicked by misfortune from Kentucky to Oregon. Now she’s in a tiny coastal town called Tidewater Bay, and all she wants is a job and a safe place to land. She thinks she's found that in Caroline, her new employer, but quickly learns her mistake—Caroline is the town pariah, and she's keeping secrets: a journal detailing the mutilated bodies and unexplainable disappearance of the original settlement. As Kate unravels this dark history, she'll collide with the dangers lurking in the present. For Death walks the earth when the tide is low.

And Death hates meddlers.
