The year is 1867, and seventeen-year-old Verity Boone is excited to return to Catawissa, pennsylvania, the hometown she left when she was just a baby. Now she will finally meet the fiance she knows only through letters! Soon, however, she discovers two strangely caged graves...and learns that one of them is her own mother's. Verity swears she'll get to the bottom of why her mother was buried in "unhallowed ground" in this suspenseful teen mystery that swirls with rumours of witchcraft, buried gold from the days of the War of Independence, and even more shocking family secrets.
