โฆ Synopsis
**Has a curse fallen on the small town of Taylorsford, Virginia? After a young woman goes missing during a spring bonfire, library director Amy Webber must wade through the web of lies only to find a truth that she may not want to untangle. **
Spring has sprung in quaint Taylorsford, Virginia, and the mayor has revived the townโs long-defunct May Day celebration to boost tourism. As part of the festivities, library director Amy Webber is helping to organize a research project and presentation by a local folklore expert. All seems well at firstโbut spring takes on a sudden chill when a university student inexplicably vanishes during a bonfire.
The local police cast a wide net to find the missing woman, but in a shocking turn of events, Amyโs swoon-worthy neighbor Richard Muir becomes a person of interest in the case. Not only is Richard the womanโs dance instructor, he also doesnโt have an alibi for the night the student vanishedโor at least not one heโll divulge, even to Amy.
When the missing student is finally discovered lost in the mountains, with no memory of recent eventsโand a dead body lying nearbyโan already disturbing mystery takes on a sinister new hue. Blessed with her innate curiosity and a librarianโs gift for research, Amy may be the only one who can learn the truth.
