'I have read ALL Heather Atkinson's books. They are all fantastic.'
Edinburgh 1896. At Alardyce House, the family are gathered to
celebrate the engagement of the heir to the estate, Robert, to his
childhood sweetheart. But what should be a precious memory for his
mother Amy, is marred by darkness. For Robert's biological father
was a demon and a criminal, and now Robert is coming-of-age,
disturbing reports are beginning to emerge about his behaviour. Amy
is torn between her love and loyalty to her son, her hope that she
can save his soul, and her growing sense of dread that the streets
of Edinburgh aren't safe when Robert is in town. Meanwhile the
increasing distance between Robert and his stepfather Henry
threatens the peace of her loving marriage. The Alardyce family is
riven by secrets and scandal, but will this most cursed heir of
all, be the one to ruin their reputation forever, or can the power
of a mother's love save them all? If you love Emily Organ, Kate
Saunders and Ann Granger, you'll love The Cursed Heir. Discover
bestselling author Heather Atkinson and you'll never look back...
