The nine remain forever on alert, vigilant and ready to react. Forces which threaten or pose danger to those they are destined to protect ought to take heed, for these black birds—these sentinels that have watched over this town for the past three centuries, defending the weak and the vulnerable—will not stop until their work …
Steeped in secrets, lies, bullies, anonymous callers, prowlers, and crows, with a major plot twist that you don’t see coming
Steeped in folklore, the series is set on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
When Thomas Morley, a young Newfoundland fisherman, is rescued from death by the local witch, he discovers he has the ability to cure sickness and charm blood. A gift, he is told, until seizures and blackouts have him glancing into the future, a place that frightens and confuses him. With folk lore and superstition roiling his world, he knows he’s cursed.
Self-described as “weird little pieces of half-forgotten history and folklore from all over Newfoundland and Labrador, one for every day of the year” . . .
