When a sinister spirit invades an isolated community, three lives will be forever altered, in this dark gothic fantasy from the acclaimed author of At the Bottom of the Garden.
“Richly atmospheric and peopled with exquisitely delineated characters . . . the novel builds to a genuine shocker of an ending. Readers will be hooked.”—Publishers Weekly A rebellious young woman desperate to escape her predetermined life.
The handsome but married priest who has caught her eye.
And the resolute schoolteacher who values science above all.
In 1910, on a small, remote island that boasts more sheep than people, the fates of Charlotte North, Jasper Hill, and Ruth Russel are perched on the edge of a cliff, and a strange wind is blowing. . . .
When an ancient tower—rumored to have once imprisoned a witch—crumbles, it releases something powerful: a restless spirit that knocks inside the walls and sends household objects flying. A spirit that seems to be drawn to Charlotte, who sees in it a potential for power and change.
But first she must overcome Jasper’s piety and Ruth’s fierce determination to banish the terrifying entity. Only then will she gain the power to claim the life that she desires.
