Synopsis

TRAVEL BACK IN TIME TO THE YORKSHIRE MOORS IN THE 1800s AND DISCOVER A GHOSTLY TALE OF MAGIC AND WICKEDNESS

‘The perfect book for a cold winter’s night . . . an immersive gothic tale, dark and mysterious. Truly haunting!' Anita Frank

'An atmospheric, eerie read’ Prima

----

Annie Stonehouse has been married a year
when she first sets eyes on Guardbridge,
her husband Edward’s forbidding Yorkshire
estate. It fills her with apprehension.

Warned it is a place of ill omen, she discovers
hints of Edward’s deceased first wife and child
– a subject her new husband will not discuss.

Iris – Edward’s sister – prowls the
house and talks of communing with spirits.
Black feathers, she claims, are a sign left
by ghosts. What are they doing at Guardbridge?

Annie feels watched. She feels threatened.
The house – and its feathers – frightens her.
But what should she fear most: the ghosts trapped
by the past, or the living desperate to be free of it?
