The Drownings 💧🧙🏻‍♀️


Serena steps onto campus burdened by the shattering blow of a career-ending injury that once defined her as a swimming champion. Adrift in her new reality, she finds an unexpected beacon in Jane, a mysterious tutor consumed by the haunting history of Leysham's chilling witch trials.


But as the university grapples with a string of assaults targeting young women, the ominous specter of Leysham's past looms ever closer. Despite the indifference of those in authority, Jane urges Serena and her circle of friends to confront the injustice head-on. Fuelled by a growing fury born of collective female indignation, Serena resolves to take action herself.


In the heart of Leysham, Serena discovers a latent power stirring within her, something dark and otherworldly. Amidst the icy depths of the waters that once witnessed unspeakable horrors, she glimpses a path forward - one fraught with peril and requiring an unimaginable sacrifice. As the tumult of her emotions converges into a tempest of determination, Serena prepares to heed the call of destiny, knowing that the journey ahead will demand everything she has to give.


This book is a combination of feminism, gothic folklore and revenge. It has everything you need with a touch of obsession and betrayal.
