This book is a mash-up of urban and historical fantasy, with mother-daughter elements and a tiny dab of romance. It's also a mash-up of two very real histories that fascinate me: the Lost Colony of Roanoke in what is now North Carolina, USA, and the Tschäggättä, or masked figures, from the Lötschental valley in Switzerland. My goal throughout this entire series will be to explore the extremes we will go to for those we love...or hate. I wrote the book in three points of view, but I have to admit that I have a special soft spot for Eleanor's dark story. She's such a bad-ass in her own twisted way. Triggers: kidnapping, death, the devil, colonization....more
