One hundred years ago, in the beautiful village of Secret Cove, Maine, on the night of the annual August Moon Ball, a shy and lovely servant girl committed an act so unspeakably violent that its legacy still lives. Now, the blood-drenched past of this small town is about to come to life once more--just in time for this year's August Moon Ball. HC: Bantam. (read review)

“on the back of the novel :
A lush , secluded Maine seaside resort .
Summer playground of the superrich,
One hunderd years ago ,
something disturbed their play ,
Horro came to this village ,
and though no one knows it yet ,
the horror has never left

It waits for a shy young girl ,
outcast by her freinds ,
By her beautiful half sister ,
Even by her own mother ,
She knows how it feels to be unwanted . Angry .
Soon she will know the touch of unholy terror ,
And the rage of blood - drenched vengeance ,
Beware ..
Beware the ..
SECOND CHILD ”
