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.

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?
