The Brand New Spellbinding Historical Novel from Victoria Scott

1966: Standing on the rugged Cornish coast, Hallows Abbey can be a lonely place for the boys boarding there. For Theresa, however, it offers an escape from her father's long shadow, and as the school nurse, she tries to be a comfort to those students struggling to adjust to their remote life. But, before the year is over, Theresa will make a terrible decision – and the consequences for the children in her care will change everything…

2025: With her own children having just left home, Amanda's emotions are in turmoil when she arrives at the isolated school where her husband is to be Deputy Head. When she learns of the school's tragic history, in which a group of boys went out on a boat trip and disappeared, she becomes obsessed with finding out what happened, even when her research risks upsetting the fragile equilibrium of the school. But when she starts to hear voices in the gardens, and crying in the halls at night, she begins to wonder if she's losing her mind.

Only one thing seems certain: this corner of Cornwall could well be Amanda's undoing.
