Set against the backdrop of a crumbling estate in 1920s England, the story revolves around the enigmatic figure of a young woman, who finds herself entwined in the dark secrets of her ancestral home.

As she delves deeper into the history of her family, she uncovers a web of betrayals, misplaced loyalties, and restless spirits. The narrative unfolds with an atmospheric tension that keeps readers on the edge of their seats, as the protagonist grapples with her own past while confronting the ghosts that haunt the estate. Each chapter reveals more about the characters’ complex relationships, their motivations, and the chilling events that shaped their lives.
