Description
Some call VisionCrest the pinnacle of religious enlightenment.
Others call it a powerful cult.
For seventeen years, Harlow Wintergreen has called it her life.
As the adopted daughter of VisionCrest's patriarch, Harlow is expected to be perfect at all times. The other Ministry teens must see her as a paragon of integrity. The world must see her as a future leader. Despite the constant scrutiny, Harlow has managed to keep a dark and dangerous secret, even from her best friend and the boy she loves. She hears a voice in her head that seems to have a mind of its own, plaguing her with violent and bloody visions. It commands her to kill. And the urge to obey is getting harder and harder to control . . .
Praise:
"...Miller's debut (which is not without a sense of humor) comes out of nowhere, packed with wild gore, unusual settings, and characters way off the YA beaten path...wow, what will Miller do next?" - Daniel Kraus, Booklist
"The Violet Hour takes readers on a dark, delicious thrill ride across Asia and deep inside the dangerous secrets of an international cult. This gripping debut establishes Whitney Miller as an author to watch." - Gwenda Bond, Author of Blackwood and The Woken Gods
