Private investigator and former beauty queen Madeline Maclin thought she'd seen it all in her small North Carolina town of Celosia, until a young man's body covered in strange occult symbols is found in a local vineyard.

Has the old coven reappeared? Is the new coven responsible for the ritualistic murder?
