A novel by Regina Bergen
Horseman
Rising
They feared the Horseman. They should have feared what he guards.
The legend was only the beginning
A Headless Horseman reimagining
A buried boundary.
A forgotten covenant.
A legend waking.
Sleepy Hollow has always belonged to Kate Van Tassel. But when an earthquake tears an old ash tree from the earth beside the Old Dutch Church, something beneath the Hollow begins to stir.
As Halloween draws near, Kate must uncover what has been hidden for centuries—and decide what she is willing to surrender to keep it there.
