And Then There Were None meets The Inheritance Games, with a heavy
dash of The Woman in Black, in this gloriously gothic YA
mystery-thriller. When eighteen-year-old Helena is sent to be a
governess at Archfall Manor - a beautiful but crumbling manor
house, perched at the edge of a causeway in the North Sea - she
feels confident she will know how to deal with the esteemed but
eccentric Cauldwell family who own it. But it quickly becomes clear
that the Cauldwells are hiding more than Helena could ever have
dreamed of. A series of sinister events come to a head with a
gruesome death - swiftly followed by another. Worse still, with the
path back to the mainland cut off by a terrible storm, and no way
to get help, suspicions and paranoia quickly run rampant. But the
Cauldwells aren't the only ones keeping secrets. Helena has some
very important ones of her own - and soon she begins to wonder
whether dark powers beyond her control might be forcing her to
twist the fate of the family - and her own destiny - forever.
Praise for A Dark Inheritance: "A powerful, heart-racing story of
family, fate, and writing your own destiny. Intricately plotted and
luminously written - I loved it" Laura Steven, author of The
Society for Soulless Girls
