Not every house is a home...

Belinda Bainbridge has spent her life in the shadow of her anxious mother, so when her father-in-law dies at The Bridge, his remote ancestral seat, she is secretly thrilled. His death means she, her husband Wilfred and their children can relocate and finally begin to create their own happy home together: born a merchant's daughter, she will now be lady of the manor.

But their new home quickly proves far from ideal. The garden is a wilderness, the estate is struggling financially, there are whispers about the mysterious death of a servant many years before while their young son, Freddy, seems unusually fixated on the strange wooden figures - so-called 'silent companions' - that were once owned by his ancestors.

When Wilfred's charismatic brother, Nathan, arrives unexpectedly from abroad, bringing a very different account of the family's past, Belinda begins to question what her husband has told her. What really lies behind the sad history of the house?

And are Belinda's children truly safe here?

The outstanding new haunted house story from Sunday Times bestseller and multi-award winner, Laura Purcell, author of The Silent Companions, who has reignited readers' passion for classic gothic tales for a new audience.

This is the time of the prophecy. A dark fantasy that continues the search for the link to God inside the Amazon. DEVIL'S TEMPLE, is not a religious story. It is a dark tale of fate and legend, of feared words spoken in whispers of power and mystery. A Shaman's grim forewarnings tell a tale of a Temple that appears every five hundred years deep inside the jungle, and this is such a year! On the other side of the world, a civilian expedition becomes lost inside one of the most unforgiving places on earth, Amazonia. Does the truth lie within this remorseless rainforest? Suddenly, horror strikes when a scientist is killed in an act of human sacrifice. The death toll continues to rise, and nothing makes sense anymore as friendships stretch to breaking point and religious tensions begin to tighten. Who or what is killing them? Inside the Temple, a tapestry of death traps lay waiting. If these don't get them then horrific life-forms from another world surely will. Would anyone be found alive to rescue? An enormous creature bursts out from a turbulent storm above the rainforest, a thing born unto the wing high in the air featherless, huge and black and completely bare, it uttered an unearthly high-pitched scream that would make a man quake. DEATH was the beasts' name. In-flight, the creature opened to full wingspan wider than an aircraft, as it navigated over this new landmass with ease and where DEATH flew, death followed... Excerpt1: "What is going on up there Ale? Who is screaming!" Cesare asked with growing worry. Macabre events were unfolding and their eyes were glued to the distance. They could see small silhouettes crouching and everyone seemed to be holding their ears. Alessandro and Cesare began to see a small blue spherical energy ball appearing, and hovering in mid-air. The men guessed that everyone up there was in great danger, the orb splashed the darkness away from around it. The thing displayed raw power, swamping a deep luminous blanket of blue-violet colour over the Temple stone. Reeling backward involuntarily, both men staggered when a sharp light flashed powerfully through everyone's bodies on the steps! In that split-second flash, Alessandro and Cesare could see the people's transparent bodies and skeletons, silhouetted briefly in a weird blue light. Both men gasped loudly, when a massive expansion of pure energy happened, so sudden and so quick. They witnessed Beppi become engulfed. The power catapulted the helpless man into the air and held him up high like a blazing star, screaming. "Oh God! Look!" Cesare called out in grim abhorrence, nobody spared the grim details of the victim's flesh bubbling; Beppi's body wriggled and popped like a sausage on a barbeque. Paralysed, everyone watched helplessly, and nobody could save him. "It's Beppi! It's got Beppi! It's roasting him alive!" Yelling like a maniac, Alessandro's own sanity screamed out in disbelief.
