About the Book

There's something devilish going on in the quiet Welsh village of Penhelyg...A gripping gothic suspense from the author of number one bestseller Pandora A remote village, a mysterious death, a secret cult - a gripping gothic mystery from the author of number one bestseller Pandora 'A gripping, beautifully executed historical thriller, full of magic and mythology' Rosie Andrews After a grave mistake, Henry Talbot has been forced to take a position as village doctor in remote Wales where he can't speak the language and belief in myth and magic is rife. When Henry discovers his predecessor died in mysterious circumstances, and starts to notice a cryptic symbol appearing in odd places, he sets out to find answers. The lady of the manor, Linette Tresilian, is vexingly unhelpful at first. She seems to know little about the shelves of occult books Henry notices in her family's library. But Linette has suspicions of her own about what's happened in the village and, together, their investigations will bind their destinies in ways neither thought possible.

Highly recommend' 'I loved the feel of this book and I was hooked from the first chapter' 'A breathtaking gothic fiction with an unforgettable finale, Stokes-Chapman is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors'

A haunting, transporting mystery…kept me completely enthralled A gripping, beautifully executed historical thriller, full of arcane magic and Welsh mythology A mesmerising maze of a gothic Georgian mystery. Enter an eerie and liminal world steeped in superstition, Welsh folklore, and pagan cults. Gloriously atmospheric from the first dark page to the last A novel to read under the covers with a flashlight...deliciously dark and romantic... Gloriously Gothic, and lovingly and carefully researched...an instant classic The mysteries and twists kept me turning the pages till the wee small hours – every character has something to hide. A sumptuous, dark feast of a novel Dark secrets unfold at galloping pace in this atmospheric and propulsive gothic mystery. With compelling, richly-drawn characters and clever, twisty plotting... an addictive and satisfying read from a masterful storyteller A fantastic read! Dark and twisty, full of atmosphere, with a heroine I cheered for from the moment she appeared Riveting, meticulously researched, hugely evocative... a page-turning plot and a compelling cast of characters that spring from the page. Susan Stokes-Chapman has done it again! A marvellously evocative and tautly plotted treat, this book will have you longing to explore Welsh forests, rivers and mountains; folklore, fiendish villains, and fraught relations between classes all combine for a lush escape into a magical and macabre world. Loved it A beautifully dark and mysterious read. Richly atmospheric and captivating.
