Nothing Left But Ashes - Lauren Perdue

Résumé :

The identical twin sisters, Cadence and Cassandra Wrye, have devoted their lives to serving as the midwives and holistic healers in Grover while hiding their true identities as witches. With rumors that the hunts have begun again, fear and suspicion are sown, turning neighbor against neighbor in pursuit of the wicked magic. When Cadence has a disturbing vision one night, it makes her question the sisters' future in their village.

Fleeing his own troubled past, Dr. Nathaniel Axton drifts from town to town before settling in Grover, afraid to connect with those around him. But no matter how much he tries to distance himself, the quiet doctor keeps crossing paths with Cadence, a fierce healer in her own right. Cadence keeps a wide berth of the new doctor, shocking them both when she arrives at his door one morning, her own life in peril. While he nurses her back to health, the two develop a friendship that pulls him into a world he didn't know existed.

The relationship between Cadence and Nathaniel doesn't go unnoticed by the villagers, and as they grow closer, the suspicions of those they once called friends and neighbors begin to rise. When tragedy strikes, it might just be the first domino to fall in fulfillment of Cadence's doomed vision, threatening everything she's ever known and loved.

Will Cadence be able to protect everyone without losing herself?
