So, this incident brings the villagers together. Two months before this incident, a teenager drowned in the same river that led to her death. Daniella Abbott, better known as Nel Abbott, was researching that mysterious river for a long time. She believed that before 200-300 years, the river was used to drown the witches, and in these 200 years, this river had taken many lives.
She had published many articles and books about the river. So amidst this mystery comes to the entire town, and then there are many characters coming into play. There are so many characters in the book that you will find it hard to connect for a while. Who performed what action? You must read the book carefully.

But at times, you will find it confusing to remember the characters, who was who. But the end of the book is equally amazing.
