There she finds a man who refuses to speak of his recently deceased first wife, and villagers who view her with suspicion.
Isolated and disturbed by her husband's strange behaviour, her fears deepen.
What is making the strange sounds in the attic?
Who does the mysterious glass figure she is given represent?
And why do the villagers talk of the coming winter darkness in hushed tones?
A mysterious and captivating tale of love, fear and superstition, perfect for readers ofThe Miniaturist,The Silent Companions, andThe Bear & The Nightingale.
Venture to the wild, beautiful and spellbinding Orkney islands inTHE METAL HEART,the compelling new story of freedom and love from Caroline Lea.
