Hallowed Ground (A Gates of Eden Prequel) [E-BOOK]

A century-old curse has awakened—and fourteen-year-old Joni Campbell is the reason it came back.

On Halloween night, a ghost warns Joni that a long-buried witch is searching for her. Within hours, Joni discovers a power she never knew she had: she can absorb magic and send it back stronger. But Messalina, a young woman consumed by grief and a hunger for revenge, wants that power for herself—and she’s willing to tear Joni’s family apart to claim it.

With the help of Isabelle, the ghost of Messalina’s sister, and Roger Thundershield, a Choctaw shaman, Joni begins to uncover the secrets hidden in her family’s plantation home. Then Roger is taken into Samhuinn, a deadly realm beyond the living world. To save him, Joni must learn to wield a gift she barely understands, confront the violence buried in her family’s past, and face an enemy who was once a child like her.

For readers who love the magical discovery of Rick Riordan, the otherworldly danger of Cassandra Clare, and the courageous young heroines of Holly Black.
