Description
‘Enigmatic’ – Sunday Independent
It is 1942, and Clare is awaiting the birth of her first child.
Her husband, Will, is away fighting, and, alone in their cottage in the Sussex village of Firlebury, she waits anxiously for news.
Her worries increase when, accompanying the gift of an antique cradle, come mysterious visions of an older, darker, Firlebury.
Then she meets Gabriel, a soldier like Will, who seems to offer the support and comfort she so desperately needs. In this twilight world of alluring beauty and brutal savagery, is she awake, or is she dreaming?
When her son, Michael, is born, Clare realises the full power of the darkness stealthily surrounding her and her child.
As the forces of an ancient evil gather about her with terrifying violence, it seems that the mysterious Gabriel alone can help — but only at the risk of jeopardizing everything she holds dear …
Praise for Elizabeth Harris:
‘Enormously enjoyable … hard to put down. Elizabeth Harris writes with sensitivity and skill and a spine-chilling eye for the sinister’ - Barbara Erksine, author of Lady of Hay
Elizabeth Harris graduated from Keele University with a degree in English and Psychology, and she has since gained a Certificate in Archaeology from the University of Kent. Born in Cambridge, her home is on the borders of Kent and Sussex, where she lives with her family. Since the publication of her first novel in 1990, she has divided her time between researching and writing, travelling extensively in Europe and the UK and living for part of the year in an ancient stone cottage on the edge of a Breton forest.
Her six previous novels are The Herb Gatherers, The Egyptian Years, The Sun Worshippers, Time of the Wolf, The Quiet Earth and The Sacrifice Stone.
