The Key of Shadows

Shadows over Tresillian

The year is 1783. Dr Henry Talbot has been dismissed from a prestigious London hospital. The only position he can find is in a remote corner of Wales, where people still believe in myths and magic and treat the new doctor with suspicion. And when Henry discovers that his predecessor died under mysterious circumstances, he decides to find out the truth. The unconventional Linette Tresilian lives a lonely life. Having lost her father long ago, with her mother haunted by demons and her cousin treating her with cold contempt, she had no choice but to become fiercely independent. She always suspected something strange was happening in the village, but it is only through Henry's investigation that the truth about her loved ones will come to light... a truth that will irrevocably bind her fate to Henry's.
