Someone is playing deadly games. Lieutenant Luke Pittman lies in the hospital in a coma after being attacked by one of their own. Veronica Manes, Burning Lake's most respected modern-day witch, is dead, her murder left unsolved. Natalie Lockhart has become embroiled in a case with threads that become increasingly difficult to untangle.
Now, a new horror is uncovered, one that shocks the town as never before, and the dark, shadowy path forward for Natalie is paved with challenges that haunt her past—Veronica's unsolved case. Her sister's traumatic murder. The long-lost disappearance of her old best friend. Natalie's obsession with finding the truth leads to a twisted, elemental struggle between good and evil—and nothing will ever be the same again.
The woods have secrets.
The trees are carved with curses.
There's something wicked in Burning Lake.

      An upstate New York detective investigating a series of girls held captive wonders if a lost friend could have been one of them. Det. Natalie Lockhart isn't good at waiting, especially when she's sitting fruitlessly in the hospital room of longtime colleague Lt. Det. Luke Pittman waiting for him to come out of a coma. Luke's a fighter, so Natalie's hoping for the best, but the dire straits of the situation have left her shaken and questioning what her relationship with Luke really is. Sorting it all out is put on hold when Natalie is called to a particularly chilling murder scene. Sitting in the middle of Murray's Halloween Costumes is the corpse of Randolph Holmes, onto which someone has placed a red nose like a cherry on top. When Natalie looks around for motives, she's disturbed by a discovery in Randy's home: binders full of detailed descriptions of girls being held captive by whomever wrote them. Are they sick fantasy or sicker fact? The information in the binders seems to dovetail with a series of women who disappeared over a yearslong span, dubbed by one reporter "The Shadow Girls." As she learns more about the case, Natalie can't help wondering whether Bella Striver, her childhood best friend, might have been one of these shadow girls. Whether or not she is, Natalie is determined to solve the case of her long-missing friend. Just when this police-driven story seems to wind down, there's a bonus mystery on top.
