Now, Kate is returning home for the first time in years, for Sam and Chloe's wedding. But the woods are coming alive again, and Kate must reconnect with Lucia, the most troubled of the sisters and her first love, to protect Chloe, the village, and herself"--- Subjects: Ghost stories.; Gothic fiction.; Novels.; Church buildings; Family secrets; Forests and forestry; Ghosts; Lesbians; Sisters; Villages; Weddings;
