"Curses, ghosts and psychos, oh my Does everything end with my death?" Stevie asked.... Growing up in Sleepy Hollow, NY, seventeen-year old Stevie Nixon had always believed that that the Legend of the Headless Horseman was just that-a legend. That was until she was thrust into the middle of a 200-year old curse. A curse cast by a vengeful witch on her great-times-eight grandfather, the horseman himself. Now, instead of worrying about which college she will be applying to during her senior year at Sleepy Hollow High, she's more concerned about finding ways to break the curse-and save her life. With the Winter Solstice, Stevie begins working on the second clue with the help of her family and friends. But it's not clear sailing. Chris Lehr, one of her oldest and closest friends, is having major troubles of his own, and needs Stevie to help him through. Crushed between two looming problems, Stevie wonders if there is any way to manage both. Tensions and frustrations exacerbate Stevie's dilemma until all she wants is to be done with this Wicked Winter.
