The Witch's Rose

Sylvia Drake enjoys a life filled with simple pleasures in 1857. She loves her Appalachian Mountains, but doesn't want to remain in Hickory Hollow forever. Her parents even begin preparations for her to attend college.
Just as her dreams seem to be coming true, her world is shattered. As if the losses aren't bad enough, she finds someone has ventured into madness, and the time has come for everyone to pay the price.
