Butcherbird

Something is drawing Jena Benedict's family to darkness.

Her mother, father, brother and baby sister are killed in a barn fire, and Grandmother Rose banishes Jena from the farm.

Now, twenty years on, Rose is dying, and Jena returns home wanting answers about what really happened on the night of the fire and why she was sent away.

Will, Rose's live-in caregiver, has similar questions.

He hunts for the supernatural, and he knows something sinister lurks in the Benedict homestead.

Together, Jena and Will unearth the mysteries around a skull, a pocket-watch, a tale of the Dark Man and a tiding of magpies. And in doing so, they set loose an evil entity determined to destroy Rose and her whole clan.

Full of tension and psychological thrills, Butcherbird is a novel about uncovering truths and unshackling guilt.
