When her friend is wrongly sacrificed to a sinister forest, a girl tricks a demon prince into helping her reveal a powerful priest's twisted nature and rid the land of a mysterious blight rotting the crops and turning the people of Belle Parish mad. --- Seventeen-year-old Eloise Marlow is supposed to be on her best behavior as the newest Debutante in Belle Parish, according to her mother. When she comes of age, she'll be married off to a boy from a wealthy estate, but only if she follows the rules and keeps her nose where it belongs. In a gossip-fueled southern parish where the rich pull the strings behind the overreaching church, it's nearly impossible for Eloise to mind her own business. After a night of juvenile mistakes, Eloise finds herself at the judgment of her closest friend. Caught with a boy while unbetrothed, her friend is banished into Dreadwood, a sinister forest where demons are whispered to rule. Father McRae, sentencer and head priest, preaches that sacrifices and ridding the parish of any impure keeps their crops bountiful and their health pristine. The parish eats up his words, but Eloise notices how the boy her friend was with goes unpunished, how they all seem to go unpunished while girls are tossed to the forest for their alleged witchery. Determined to reveal Father McRae's wicked ways, Eloise sets off on a perilous path filled with secrets, betrayal, and an evil so vast it could swallow her whole. But when she tricks a darkly charming demon prince into helping her, she doesn't know what is more dangerous to her anymore--him or Dreadwood.
