'I love this book. Put your life on hold while you finish it' Maggie O'Farrell
A suspenseful and chilling novel of haunted landscapes and a teenage girl in danger.
Seventeen-year-old Silvie is camping in rural Northumberland with her father and a group of archaeologists, who are attempting to uncover evidence of human sacrifice. As Silvie glimpses the possibility of freedom with the students - new female friendships and a sexual awakening - her difficult relationship with her overbearing father begins to deteriorate. As the feelings of dread build the haunting rites of the past begin to bleed into the present. . .
