When spirited Megan Alisdair comes to Wyndspelle from her native Scotland to care for Lea, she’s appalled by the girl’s wretched living conditions. But when she confronts the child’s father, the enigmatic Craigh Stewart, she begins to uncover a dark web of tragic secrets.
For Lea’s family believe she is possessed … and they blame her for starting the fatal fire…

But Megan can’t ignore the sense of evil that hangs around Wyndspelle like a cloud, nor the rumours that the desolate old house is haunted. And when a series of dreadful events is set in motion, soon she’s in fear of her life – and of Lea’s too.
Someone wants Lea to stay silent – and it seems they’ll go to any lengths to keep her that way…
