With remains of his cousin dripping from a crown of thorns in the family chapel, and an ominous portent that one more beast is left to slay, Brynn Aubyn, III assumes his role as heir to Hallow Manor on a lonely coast in Cornwall. Now he must determine who the changeling is and find a way to destroy it before his ancestral home is left in ruins. But when a guest is crushed to death, a ghost ship wrecked in the harbor, and the madness of his dreams invade everything, he is certain all hope is lost. Will a rambling letter from his haunted Grandfather reveal the answers he needs? Or will a long forgotten tale about stone circles seal their demise? Touted as the horror version of Downton Abbey, the inhabitants of Hallow Manor are in for a dark season filled with beasts, standing stones, ghosts, potions, and all manner of dreams. "Wonderfully macabre ... a new crave for gothic horror fans ... a cross between Poe and Lovecraft ... E. P. Ferguson is someone to follow."
