Description
A murderous aunt, strangely gifted children and witchcraft come together in Camilla Bruce’s new intensely dark adult Gothic fairytale. For fans of Catriona Ward and C.J. Cooke
The dead won’t stay silent forever…
Clara Woods is a killer. At the bottom of the garden is a flowerbed, long overgrown, where her late husband rests in peace – or so she always thought. Until the girls arrived.
Lily and Violet are her adolescent nieces, recently orphaned and in urgent need of care. Raising teenagers is certainly not what Clara had envisioned for herself, but the girls come with a hefty sum attached.
There is only one problem: both girls are untrained witches. Lily can literally see how people feel and knows when they lie. And young Violet can see the dead man at the bottom of the garden. She can see all the dead, and she can call them back.
Soon Clara is surrounded by apparitions, Lily and Violet have become a liability – and know far more than they should. Now a war is waging in this house, and only one side can win…
