1856. Miss Susan Pickering, spinster, has lived at Hollytree House all her life, unaware that the land it stands on lies under a terrible curse. Now without warning the spectre of a medieval monk is menacing the halls with deadly intent, slipping into the dreams of her servants and lodgers to seduce and torment-and worse. With her household in a panic and malicious sprites at large, it's clear the true target is strong-minded Susan herself. Hand in hand with her lodger-and ardent admirer-investigative reporter Ned Donovan, Miss Pickering will have to defy propriety and explore the ghosts of her own past to break the ancient curse and send the Prior of St Audrey's back to his fiendish master. Readers of Maggie Secara's intense historical fantasy, King's Raven, will be delighted to reconnect with prickly Miss Pickering and the irrepressible Mr Donovan as they venture into a world of magic and mayhem in Victorian England.

Autorenporträt
As a writer, my intention is to explore the heroic ideal, the nature of friendship, the power of music. My stories look for the mythical in the every day, and seek out the places where the realms of Faerie intersect the mundane. The historical context gives me a frame for that exploration, although it's probably true that I'm really just a gossip: I can't stand that someone might have done something interesting 400 years ago without my knowing about it, including who else was there, what they had for dinner, and what they were wearing at the time. Other than that, my eyes are blue, my hair is red, my accent is trans-continental. Everything else is, as they say, subject to change without notice.
