A fast-paced, complex tale of good and evil featuring a protagonist who has morally unconventional motivations....An ambitious and moody supernatural thriller. - Kirkus Reviews An orphaned witch. A small Vermont town. An ancient spell linked to the Devil. Travis is a talented witch who believes his inherited magic is elevated because it avoids the ritualistic kills that sustain traditionalists in the coven. To replenish depleted power, he feeds on human fear alone. The horrors he conjures are wiped from victims' memories, so what's the harm? A clique of coeds finds itself caught in Travis' witchcraft, as he comes to discover the magic he thought was benign instead catalyses a diabolical twist that may be worse than murder. But Travis cannot stop. The witches that killed his parents have tracked his whereabouts, and he must refuel to fight them the only way he can: haunting townspeople already tainted by the spell. The Banished is ideal for fans of Stephen King, Deborah Harkness, Alex North ... and for anyone who loves classic horror, dark fantasy, or thrillers crossed with the occult.
