Synopsis
ACCURSED Janella Maki lived in a world without a past, a world where childhood memories were shrouded in terrifying shadows. A world in which she never felt she really belonged. Then one day a handsome man appeared and introduced himself as her Uncle Lucien. He had been married to her long lost Aunt Tovi, he said, and he'd come to take Janella back to her people. Desperate for answers that would explain her bouts of amnesia and illuminate her mysterious past, Janella agreed to accompany him--little knowing that by doing so, she had sentenced herself to a nightmare without end. For in the curiously remote house to which her uncle had brought her, Janella learned that buried in her past were her own supernatural powers...powers born of ancient Scandinavian rituals...powers of evil that, once unleased, she could not control.
