'Crackles with tension. Moving and atmospheric, I couldn't put it
down' Laura Purcell, author of The Silent Companions and The Corset
A rich and captivating tale of superstition and salvation, love and
fear, for fans of The Binding, The Miniaturist and The Silent
Companions. 1686, Iceland. An isolated, windswept land haunted by
witch trials and steeped in the ancient sagas . . . ____________
Betrothed unexpectedly to Jon Eiriksson, Rosa is sent to join her
new husband in the remote village of Stykkisholmur. Here, the
villagers are wary of outsiders. But Rosa harbours her own
suspicions. Her husband buried his first wife alone in the dead of
night. He will not speak of it. The villagers mistrust them both.
Dark threats are whispered. There is an evil here - Rosa can feel
it. Is it her husband, the villagers - or the land itself? Alone
and far from home, Rosa sees the darkness coming. She fears she
will be its next victim . . . ____________ SHORTLISTED FOR THE
