Two hundred years ago, a secret sisterhood of powerful witches was slaughtered in the West Virginia hills, leaving only one hope for their legacy, a newborn veiled child whisked away by a white wolf into the darkness. In present-day New York, Sue and Tom Wellington welcome their first baby girl, Charlotte, a beautiful child born under a mysterious black veil, marked with a dagger-shaped crest on her arm and carrying the uncanny scent of fresh roses. As Charlotte grows, toys float through the air, strange music plays in an empty nursery, and her mother begins to fear the truth behind the old family stories of witches, bloodlines, and a massacre hidden in their past. When a devoted nanny with a familiar face enters their lives and secrets from generations ago begin to surface, Charlotte is caught between a destiny tied to an ancient Goddess and a world determined to label her evil. The Bad Witch weaves together past and present, faith and fear, magic and vengeance in a dark, emotionally charged tale of legacy, power, and what happens when a girl is born to a destiny everyone else is terrified of.
