A woman escapes her abusive husband and finds shelter in an enchanted orchard in this spellbinding novel of magic, resilience, and self-discovery from the author of Wildwood Whispers.

Here be witches and wayward girls...

In a town nestled in the Appalachian Mountains, Rachel Smith has found a new life tending a lush apple orchard. She's safe within its grove. If her dreams are haunted by memories of her violent husband, that pain is soothed by fresh mountain air and apples that taste as sweet as honey.

But Rachel wasn't meant to live in the shadows. The orchard drew her to Morgan's Gap to fulfill a purpose, and a tight-knit community of wisewomen who honor the old mountain traditions are ready to teach her. A world of magic awaits Rachel, one filled with new friendships and new love.

Yet Rachel's past is creeping in. A preacher with a familiar face has stormed into town, and his dangerous sermons may damn Rachel--and the people she's come to love--to the flames.
