Niamh leads Aoife into a maze of thrills, drugs, secrets and betrayals - and at its heart lies the curse of Elderwood. Pitting themselves against adult authority, the girls lose control of the evil they unleash.Twenty-five years later, Maggie's death brings Aoife back to the Staffords. As she finds herself lured into a world she thought she'd left behind, she's forced to face the question she's spent her life avoiding: just what is the curse of Elderwood, and can she break it?
