Meirionydd, 1783. Henry Talbot has been dismissed from his post at
a prestigious London hospital. The only job he can find is as a
physician in the backwaters of Wales where he can't speak the
language, belief in myth and magic is rife, and the villagers treat
him with bewildering suspicion. When Henry discovers his
predecessor died under mysterious circumstances, he is determined
to find answers. Linette Tresilian, the unconventional mistress of
Plas Helyg, lives a lonely life. Her father is long dead, her
mother haunted by demons which keep her locked away in her room,
and her cousin treats her with cool disdain - she has had no choice
but to become fiercely self-reliant. Linette has always suspected
something is not quite right in the village, but it is only through
Henry's investigations that the truth about those closest to her
will come to light...a truth that will bind hers and Henry's
destinies together in ways neither thought possible. PRAISE FOR
