Shadows Over Ravenkirk: Civil Blood and Civil Hands

Struggling Boston photographer Victoria Williams has traveled to the isolated coastal town of Ravenkirk, Maine, to claim a surprise inheritance from a woman she never knew. Wilhelmina Bruttenholm is dead, but death in Ravenkirk is rarely the end.

After the will is read, Victoria's visit quickly becomes a descent into a town ruled by old blood, quiet vendettas, and families willing to do anything to protect their power. Bound to Ravenkirk in ways she never anticipated, Victoria is determined to decipher the message Wilhelmina left behind. As soon as she can find it.

Wilhelmina's message to Victoria has been stolen and all that is left is a mysterious key.

Victoria's only physical protection is a bodyguard who exists in the space between life and death.

As secrets surface, it becomes clear that not everyone wears the face they were born with. Samantha, her gentle tarantula, is the most honest presence she has.

For Victoria, uncovering the town's secrets may cost her far more than she ever knew she could lose.
