  <default_description>&lt;i&gt;There were no surprises in Gatlin County
We were pretty much the epicenter of the middle of nowhere.
At least, that&#8217;s what I thought.
Turns out, I couldn&#8217;t have been more wrong.

There was a curse.
There was a girl.
And in the end, there was a grave.&lt;/i&gt;

Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she&#8217;s struggling to conceal her power, and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps, and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.

Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town&#8217;s oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them.

In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.</default_description>
