Synopsis
The Witch In The Well is a thriller from Camilla Bruce, author of You Let Me In.
A group of estranged childhood friends reunites in an eerie Norweigan coastal village where their flawed ambitions and grudges swirl into an all-too-real echo of a terrible town legend.
In this fable-inspired thriller, on the coast of Norway, where folklore is alive, one woman is the first in her village to leave for a life in the modern world -- only to come back years later, freshly divorced and fleeing her influencer lifestyle. There, she finds a long-dormant friendship that rekindles an intense competition, and a world more haunted and dangerous than she could ever imagine.
A thrilling ride about women who have been swept away by the promise of internet fame--only to find that creating a cult of personality means depending on the dark whims of their acolytes even at the expense of their friendship.
Synopsis
When two former friends reunite after decades apart, their grudges, flawed ambitions, and shared obsession swirl into an all-too-real echo of a terrible town legend.
Centuries ago, beautiful young Ilsbeth Clark was accused of witchcraft after several children disappeared. Her acquittal did nothing to stop her fellow townsfolk from drowning her in the well where the missing children were last seen.
When author and social media influencer Elena returns to the summer paradise of her youth to get her family's manor house ready to sell, the last thing she expected was connecting with--and feeling inspired to write about--Ilsbeth's infamous spirit. The very historical figure that her ex-childhood friend, Cathy, has been diligently researching and writing about for years.
What begins as a fiercely competitive sense of ownership over Ilsbeth and her story soon turns both women's worlds into something more haunted and dangerous than they could ever imagine.
