Everything changed for Joe Cooper when the War for Independence ended and Morgan Towne blossomed. If 13-year old Joe meant to keep his feet under him, he'd have to find a new path for himself, too. That path led to the darkness of Snakeroot Cove-a place not far away, but a new world to Joe. He was soon tangled up in the secrets of those living in the cove and haunted by the evil that lurked in the shadows. Could he wrangle with their ghosts and clear a path to freedom for himself and the others, as well?
