What you need to know before your trail

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.

Travel Guide

The Eifel Region

Kreuzberg

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

Allerheiligen Abbey

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. It was probably a wild good chase; bits of vey inferior stained glass were always turning up here and there, and now again some local historian over-enthusiast young research fellow would make me a fool of himself with half-baked claims that it had come from the legendary abbey.
