Blackthorn (J. T. Geissinger)

Twelve years ago, Maven 'May' Blackthorn fled her hometown of Solstice, Vermont, making her way to New York City to reinvent herself. Now Maven's back for her grandmother's funeral, bringing along her daughter, Bea. What starts as a family reunion quickly takes a turn for the worse when Maven comes face to face with lost love Oliver Croft - scion of the powerful Croft Pharmaceutical dynasty, supposed murderer of her mother and, unbeknown to anyone but Maven herself, Bea's father.

As a Croft, Oliver belongs to the very same family that burned one of Maven's ancestors at the stake nearly 300 years ago. Amid rumours that there is more to the tales of the Blackthorns' supernatural legacy, Maven and Oliver might just be able to forge a new path with the family they created. If Maven can only avoid becoming the Blackthorns' next casualty . . .
