Life is hard for Willa, Grace and Freya, and their three younger
sisters. Six motherless girls working a farm, living in fear of
their cruel father and the superstition that obsesses him –
The Curse of Six Daughters.

With the arrival of the
mysterious Full Moon Fayre, there's a chance for the eldest girls
to steal a moment's fun, but the day the fayre moves on, Grace
vanishes.

Willa goes after her, following a trail that
leads into the dangerous Lost Marsh, where it is said a will-o'-the-wisp
lures lost souls into the dark waters of the mire. If
Willa is to survive and reunite her family, she will need to unravel
the secrets her father has kept hidden, and face her own deepest
fears ...
