There's something mysterious about the village of Penhelyg. But what will be the price for unlocking its secrets?
Meirionydd, 1783.
Dr Henry Talbot has been dismissed from his post in London.
The only job he can find is in Wales where he can't speak the language, belief in myth and magic is rife, and the villagers treat him with suspicion. When Henry discovers his predecessor died under mysterious circumstances, he is determined to find answers.
Linette Tresilian has always suspected something is not quite right in the village, but it is through Henry's investigations that a truth comes to light that will bind hers and Henry's destinies together in ways neither thought possible.
