The Cove

Ron Rash, Merritt Hicks

eAudio - 2012

Deep in the rugged Appalachians of North Carolina lies the cove, a dark, forbidding place where spirits and fetches wander. Or so the townsfolk of Mars Hill believe - just as they know that Laurel Shelton, the lonely young woman who lives within its shadows, is a witch. Alone except for her brother, Hank, she aches for her life to begin. Then it happens - a stranger appears, carrying a note explaining that his name is Walter, he is mute, and is bound for New York. As the days pass, Walter slips easily into Laurel's heart, bringing her the only real happiness she has ever known. But Walter harbors a secret that could destroy everything - and danger is closer than they know.
