‘A twisting gothic tale of darkness, intrigue, heartbreak and revenge’ Jennifer Saint, author of ARIADNE
”This story of bewitchment and revenge weaves a spell over you, and won’t quite let go’ Susan Stokes-Chapman, author of PANDORA
‘Stunning. Perfect for lovers of folklore and gothic fiction’ Elizabeth Lee, author of CUNNING WOMEN
‘This book will haunt and bewitch you’ AJ Gnuse, author of GIRL IN THE WALLS
‘Read this book. Pre-order it, read it, scream about it. It’s gripped me and it won’t let me go’ 5* Reader Review
When Chloe turns the key to Small Angels, the church nestled at the edge of Mockbeggar Woods where she is to be married, she is braced for cobwebs and dust.What she doesn’t expect are the villagers’ concerned faces, her fiancé’s remoteness, or the nagging voice in her head that whispers to her of fears she didn’t even know she had.
Something in the woods is beginning to stir, to creep closer to the sleeping houses. Something that should have been banished long ago.
Whatever it is, it’s getting stronger, and pretending it’s not there won’t keep the wedding, or the village – or Chloe - safe.
