2024: The dead won’t stay silent forever…
Clara Woods has a secret. At the bottom of the garden is a flowerbed, long overgrown, where her murdered husband rests in peace – or so she always thought. Then the girls arrived.
Lily and Violet, her adolescent nieces, are recently orphaned and in urgent need of care. Raising teenagers is certainly not what Clara had envisioned for herself, but they come with a hefty sum attached.
There is only one problem: both girls are untrained witches. Lily can literally see how people feel. And young Violet can see the dead man wandering at the bottom of the garden. In fact, she can see all the dead and call them back.
Soon, Clara finds herself surrounded by apparitions – and two girls who know far more about her dark past than they should. A war is waging in this house, and only one side can win…
K2
The mountain that claims lives in this book.
K2, the second-highest mountain in the world, is located in the Karakoram Range of Pakistan and China. It’s partially in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and partially in China-administered Xinjiang.
The locations where they go are either fictional or vague. They stay with their aunt in Crescent Hill and there is a mention of an Ivory Springs but these are fictional. The setting is richly atmospheric – the house and surrounding area play such a pivotal role in the story and atmosphere overall.
