In the storm-locked island town of Brokenmouth, ex-resident Elena Morrow’s court defeat over a brutal expatriation levy is only the prelude. As a blizzard severs all contact with the mainland, a string of ritualistic murders begins, igniting a witch hunt that turns neighbor against neighbor. The breath of fear becomes the only law, proving that power’s game never ends in the courtroom—it lives on in every frozen whisper.
