After being snatched from the street near her home, Holly Carter wakes up in the basement of a mysterious rural house. She's not alone: two other women are also in the basement, and they quickly start to tell her about the strange ritual she's going to endure. Soon, her kidnapper will take her upstairs and submerge her in the ice bath.

Many years later, having long since escaped from the house, Holly tries to put her experiences in the past. When someone starts digging into the story, however, Holly starts to realize that the truth is going to come out. After all, no-one has ever found out exactly how the three women escaped from that strange basement. If the truth ever emerges, Holly's life – and the lives of her two fellow captives – will be ruined forever.

American Coven is a horror novel about three women who make a startling discovery while they're being held captive, and about a deadly entity that lurks in the darkest recesses of an old building.
