Wiltshire, England, 1928. When Grace Sutcliffe first sets eyes on the imposing Gothic edifice of Mordenhyrst Hall, she is struck with an overwhelming sense that something doesn’t want her there.
Within hours of arriving. her fears are realized. Her future as the new Lady Mordenhyrst is threatened on all sides. Her fiancé’s sister heads a coterie of Bright Young Things whose seemingly frivolous lives hide a sinister intent. Simon, Grace’s fiancé, is not the man she fell in love with, and the local villagers eye her with suspicion that borders on malevolence.
A new friend, Coralie Duquesne, has psychic powers and the ability to communicate with ancient and powerful spirits. She convinces Grace of her own paranormal gifts – gifts Grace will need to draw deeply on as the secrets of Mordenhyrst Hall begin to unravel.
But these secrets are rooted far deeper than the foundations of the ancestral home. The entire village is infested with a legacy so evil, it transcends the laws of nature.
In a world where nothing is as it appears to be, Grace and Coralie must seek out and find the truth – whatever the personal cost.
