Sixteen-year-old Ivy lives in superstition-fueled Rowan's Glen in the Missouri Ozarks, where, twenty-five years ago, Birch Markle killed the queen of the May Day celebration; he's rumored to still roam the woods. When decapitated animals start appearing, everyone knows Birch is back--and Ivy's cousin, Heather, is the new May Queen. Macabre atmosphere and terror abound in this thrilling, bloody mystery.
