Winter Haven
Athol Dickson, Katherine Kellgren
Thirteen years ago, Siggy Gamble ran away from home, never to be found--until his body washes ashore on the tiny island of Winter Haven off the coast of Maine. Now his sister, Vera, travels north to claim the body and finds herself tangled in the impossible.
Her brother hasn't aged a day since last she saw him.
Determined to uncover the cause of Siggy's mysterious end, Vera soon learns there are many secrets haunting the island--tales of lost colonies, a witch bent on revenge, and a towering forest where no creature dares to live. Hemmed in by unearthly fog and distrusted by the locals, Vera's only ally is the owner of a grand but dilapidated mansion poised on a rocky cliff. Will her desperate questions find answers, or will Winter Haven claim yet one more dark legend?
"Dickson's engrossing and taut novel pulls readers into the life of Vera and her quest."
