#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents a novel set deep in the bayou of Louisiana—where the only witness to a long-ago tragedy is a once-grand house… Declan Fitzgerald had always been the family maverick, but even he couldn't understand his impulse to buy a dilapidated mansion on the outskirts of New Orleans. Ever since he first saw Manet Hall, he'd been enchanted—and obsessed—with it. Determined to restore the mansion to its former splendor, Declan begins the daunting renovation room by room. But the days spent in total isolation in the empty house take a toll. He sees visions of days from a century past and experiences sensations of terror and nearly unbearable grief. Local legend has it that the house is haunted, and with every passing day Declan's belief in the ghostly presence grows. Only the companionship of alluring Angelina Simone can distract him from the mysterious happenings in the house, but Angelina has her own surprising connection to Manet Hall—a connection that will help Declan uncover a secret that's been buried for a hundred years.

New England, 1690. Sarah Carrier ha solo nove anni, ma già conosce la fatica del lavoro nei campi e le asprezze della vita dei coloni, alle prese con una terra dura, piena di insidie e di terribili epidemie. Eppure, con la forza e l'innocenza dei bambini, è capace di ritagliarsi spazi di gioco e di intime confidenze con l'adorata cugina Margaret, alla quale è legata da un affetto profondo e da un mondo fantastico in cui c'è posto solo per loro due. Se è facile amare Margaret e i genitori di lei, più difficile per Sarah è capire la propria famiglia, i fratelli, quel padre rigido e austero, sempre chiuso nei ricordi di un misterioso passato nella vecchia Inghilterra. Ma soprattutto le è difficile comprendere la madre Martha, intelligente e rigorosa, lingua tagliente e polso di ferro, così diversa dalle altre donne della colonia... La vittima ideale per quel vento malvagio di sospetto e di fanatismo che travolgerà Salem e i villaggi vicini, in un crescendo di isteria collettiva da cui prenderà il via la caccia alle streghe. E solo quando avrà toccato con mano l'orrore, Sarah capirà che l'amore di una madre ha molti modi di mostrarsi...
