Description
'A simmering, splendid novel' Jennifer Saint
There’s something devilish going on in the village of Penhelyg. Will the shadow key unlock its secrets? After a grave mistake, Henry Talbot has been forced to take a position as a village doctor in remote Wales where he can't speak the language and belief in myth and magic is rife. When Henry discovers his predecessor died in mysterious circumstances, and notices an arcane symbol appearing in odd places, he sets out to find answers.
At first, the unconventional lady of the manor, Linette Tresilian, is vexingly unhelpful with Henry’s investigations. But Linette has suspicions of her own about what’s happened in the village and, together, their quest will bind their destinies in ways neither thought possible.
