The Legend of Gideon Flynn — Sarah Bates

Over three hundred years after the young Gideon Flynn is betrayed and accused of the capital crime of witchcraft during the infamous Salem Witch Trials his family's long abandoned manor still stands in the woods, as though frozen in time. No one has ever made any attempt to go inside since his family vanished all those years ago, as it is said that it is cursed and haunted by the ghost of Gideon Flynn. Only Serena Warren ever goes out to the once grand house. She's not frightened of the manor, only finds the empty house sad and the legend behind it tragic â€" and certainly nothing for her small New England hometown to be proud of. She's never believed in ghosts or curses, but then one day a mysterious boy and his family arrive in town, and her life is irrevocably changed forever. Drawn to Flynn in a way she's never felt drawn to anyone, Serena soon finds herself entering a world she never believed existed. Long kept secrets unfold and lies are revealed, and Serena learns that sometimes even the most unlikely of legends can hold a grain of truth.
