1998: A sixteen-year-old girl is found dead, posed on a swing on her boarding school's property, dressed all in white, with no known cause of death. 1997: Violet, new on the campus of Elm Hollow Academy, is desperate to fit in. She is invited to an advanced study group, led by her art teacher, Annabel. Along with Alex, Grace, and Robin, Violet delves into the school's long-buried grim history: of Greek and Celtic legends; of the school founder's "academic" interest in the occult; of gruesome 17th century witch trials. The girls are drawn to the possibility that they can harness magic for themselves. As their actions spiral out of control, who can Violet trust? -- adapted from jacket
