Don't be shocked when I tell you the Westwick moors hold deadly secrets. And did I mention the ghosts and witches?
~~~~~
In the midst of the Westwick moors, sits Black Thorn mansion, a dark place that holds many secrets within its walls. The Thorn family's sinister past is filled with death and misery.
Rose Thorn is perhaps the most mysterious member of the once wealthy family. Rumors of her being a witch have haunted her. She vowed one day that those who hurt her would pay, and in the end, they did.
Because, when she returns to the place of her birth, things will never be the same again.
It's said that you can come to Westwick, but you can never truly leave.
