Scorned

Through an assignment, REGAN DUNN, a journalist for Women to Women Magazine learns of a group of vigilante women who banned together and built the township called Promise. It was said men were judged and hanged for their murderous crimes by this secret society and Regan has firsthand information by one who witnessed it all, EDNA JACKSON.

At one hundred and ten, Edna can still recite the events that took place over a century ago. She also tells of a legend that the dead roam the streets seeking vengeance. A legend better left buried. But since visitors were never heard from again, it’s believed that to this day those restless spirits roam the streets possessing men who enter its boundaries.

Although Edna Jackson was just a child, she remembered her father’s hanging and mother’s suicide like it were yesterday and told her tale in the bestselling novel: An Unsettling Justice. The story Regan Dunn was assigned to. But no one, not even Edna could foretell the danger lurking behind her words. Or the evils that still remained deep within the soil.

Writing about such a legend could bring ridicule upon someone with Regan’s reputation. So despite Edna warnings, her and her husband plan a week-long vacation where she learns the truth behind the legends—a truth that comes with a deadly price.
