2000s: Lin Fox is about to discover that not all fairytales are fiction.
Seventeen-year-old Lin Fox finds a body in an orchard. As she backs away in horror, she steps on broken glass.
Then blood appears on her doorstep – blood, and broken glass.
Something terrible is found in the cemetery. Shards of broken glass lie by a grave.
Who will be next?
As the attacks become more sinister, Lin doesn’t know who to trust. She’s getting closer to the truth behind these chilling discoveries, but with each move the danger deepens.
Because someone wants Lin gone – and won’t give up until he’s got rid of her and her family. Forever.
The castle in the book isn’t real but is baed on a number of castles in and around the area such as Dollendorf and Kronenberg. These are castles in the Eifel region of Germany where the author lived for many years.
Other places are also mostly fictional such as Niederburgheim and the woods at the start of the book
The Allerheilgen glass was a kind of Holy Grail to medievalist, a five-hundred year old masterpiece of stained glass whose history had ended in darkness.
