Locals of Henbane town, sitting deep in the Ozark Mountains, still mutter about Lucy Dane’s mother, an enchanting stranger who appeared and got married to Carl Dane before mysteriously disappearing when Lucy was just a child.

Now about to become an adult, Lucy suffers yet another loss when her friend Cheri vanishes, only for her dead body to be discovered, dumped openly for all to see.

Tormented by the loss of her mother and most recently Cheri, Lucy embarks on a mission to unearth the truth behind her friend’s death.

And to do that, she will need the help of a local boy named Daniel.

The Wolf Wants In

Despite the fact that premature deaths aren’t new to the tiny rural town of Blackwater, Kansas where crime and overdoses are the norm, Sadie Keller is still determined to unearth the truth behind her brother’s death--even if nobody else thinks it’s worth investigating.

Eighteen-year-old Henley Pettit knows a lot more about the dark side of Blackwater than she would like to. Coming from a family with a history of crime, Henley would love nothing more than to run away. Shedding the past is however easier said than done.

This is the tale of two women torn between family loyalties and the weight of the secrets they carry.
