About Persuasion
Grieving her godfather and reeling from betrayal, Barrie returns to find Watson’s Landing besieged by ghost-hunters and reporters searching for hidden Civil War gold. An excavation beneath neighbouring ruins uncovers more than treasure, while a magically powerful stranger claims the secrets of the founding families lie underground. When he persuades Barrie and Cassie to perform a midnight spell, the consequences threaten the island, Barrie’s relationship with Eight and everything she wants to protect.
