In The Wicked Deep, two centuries ago, three sisters were sentenced to death for witchery in the small coastal town of Sparrow, Oregon. Stones were tied to their ankles, and they were drowned in the deep waters surrounding town. Now, for a brief time each summer, the sisters return, stealing the bodies of three weak-hearted girls so that they may seek their revenge, luring boys into the harbor and pulling them under.
Out beyond the bay, seventeen-year-old Penny Talbot tries to warn Bo Carter, a boy looking for work and a place to stay, unaware of the danger he has just stumbled into. But like many outsiders, he doesnt truly believe there is danger hidden beneath the waves. Mistrust and lies spread quickly through the salty, rain-soaked streets as townspeople turn against one another, Penny and Bo suspect the other of hiding secrets, and death comes swiftly to those who cannot resist the call of the sisters. Penny will be forced to choose: save Bo, or save herself.
