Produktbeschreibung

Don't miss the BRAND NEW enchanting historical novel from Clare Marchant'Totally gripping and atmospheric... Breathtaking and beautifully written... Will stay with the reader long after the last page.' Bestselling author of The Witch's Tree, Elena Collins

'You must forever watch your back,' I spoke the words clearly, though he could not hear me. 'Come what may, I shall avenge my brother's death.'

Now: When Sarah's summoned by her godmother to remote Norfolk, she doesn't want to go. Crossing the bridges where the two rivers meet, said to be haunted by the ghost of a little boy, a large Tudor house looms in front of her. And Sarah's instantly reminded her of the summer when she last visited. The summer she would like to forget. Which left her unable to ever move forward... Can a person ever recover from the loss of a sibling?

1571: Anne Howard, newly-made countess of Arundel, has also lost a sibling. And been dragged from the relative safety of her home in remote Norfolk to London, by her overbearing, manipulative, new father-in-law Thomas Howard; the very person she suspects of killing her beloved only brother. The Howards have greater secrets than this though. Secrets that will lead Anne to a tragedy that will echo down the ages...

When Sarah finds a mysterious book of poems in a hidden chamber of her godmother's house, she is drawn into Anne's story. Perhaps the mystery will take her mind off her own loss? But - as the flood waters begin to rise under the bridges - is Sarah laying ghosts to rest, or bringing truths to the surface that should stay beneath?

A completely haunting, gripping historical novel, perfect for fans of Philippa Gregory, Alison Weir, and Diane Setterfield's Once Upon a River.
