THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'It's hard to believe that such
an accomplished novel could be a debut - The Leviathan is a
gloriously dark story that sweeps you along to its harrowing yet
satisfying conclusion. Superb' Susan Stokes-Chapman, number one
bestselling author of Pandora 'Darkly compelling and dripping with
atmosphere... bewitching' Stacey Halls, Sunday Times bestselling
author of THE FAMILIARS SHE IS AWAKE... Norfolk, 1643. With civil
war tearing England apart, reluctant soldier Thomas Treadwater is
summoned home by his sister, who accuses a new servant of improper
conduct with their widowed father. By the time Thomas returns home,
his father is insensible, felled by a stroke, and their new servant
is in prison, facing charges of witchcraft. Thomas prides himself
on being a rational, modern man, but as he unravels the mystery of
what has happened, he uncovers not a tale of superstition but
something dark and ancient, linked to a shipwreck years before.
Something has awoken, and now it will not rest. Richly researched,
incredibly atmospheric, and deliciously unsettling, The Leviathan
is set in England during a time of political and religious
turbulence. It is a tale of family and loyalty, superstition and
sacrifice, but most of all it is a spellbinding mystery and a story
of impossible things... 'Outstanding... a seething, haunting
delight' Beth Underdown, award-winning author of THE WITCHFINDER'S
SISTER 'Thoroughly gripping and utterly absorbing' Jennifer Saint,
author of ARIADNE *ROSIE ANDREWS'S The Puzzle Wood coming in 2024*
