Still, they have to figure out what’s happening to the Spares. What if whoever is responsible for the disappearances is the same person who was behind the hex?The problem is that with so many people scared and angry about the chaos in their town -- and blaming the Spares, especially the Witchlings -- it feels like it could be almost anyone.As Seven and Thorn dig deeper into the mysteries of Ravenskill, they start to uncover secrets that have long been buried and forgotten. What they find will change everything -- if only they can get anyone to believe them.
