"In the Hour of Crows enthralls like a delicious dark spell.� �Glendy Vanderah, bestselling author of Where the Forest Meets the Stars In a small town in Appalachia, people paint their doorways blue to keep spirits away. Black ferns grow where death will follow. And Weatherly Opal Wilder is a Death Talker. When called upon, she can talk the death out of the dying and save their lives�only once, never twice. But this truly unique gift comes at a price, rooting Weatherly to people who only want her around when they need her and resent her backwater ways when they don�t. Weatherly�s cousin Adaire also has a gift: she�s a Scryer and can see the future reflected back in dark surfaces. Right before she is killed in an accident, Adaire saw something unnerving, and that�s why Weatherly believes she was murdered�never thinking for a moment that it was an accident. But when Weatherly, for the first time, is unable to talk the death out of the mayor�s son, the whole town suspects she is out for revenge, that she wouldn�t save him. With the help of clues Adaire left behind and her family�s Granny Witch recipe box, Weatherly sets out to find the truth behind her cousin�s death, whatever it takes. Imbued with magic, witchery, and suspense, Dana Elmendorf�s In the Hour of Crows is a thrilling tale of friendship, identity, and love.
