The Feud
A struggling writer stumbles upon a century-old secret that plunges her into a world of magic and witchcraft in Frank Heiberger’s riveting debut thriller, The Feud.
Forced to make ends meet, India Hills accepts a job writing a simple family history of the Duvall-Richards family, a wealthy and prominent dynasty living in a rural Missouri town.
She soon realizes this is no ordinary job when she stumbles across a horrifying secret about both the Duvall-Richards family and the town itself after the shocking beheading of a young woman.
One hundred years before, a spate of horrific murders by a dark arts master sparked a feud between the Duvall-Richards family and a group of green witches. Now the ghosts of all those killed have been condemned to a life of confinement—a fact India finds hard to believe until she herself is attacked by them. Afraid she will discover the one thing that could prevent them from breaking free of their curse, the ghosts, hellhounds, and other supernatural horrors will stop at nothing to prevent India from finding out the truth.
Already on the cusp of a breakdown, can India stop the feud once and for all…without losing her sanity?
