Leaving isn't safe...
But staying would be deadly.
Three sisters find themselves lost in a storm at night, and seek safety at Moirthwaite Manor, where their mother once worked.

Together, they seek safety in an abandoned manor house, a place where they spent a troubled childhood clinging to each other for support, before one day fleeing with their parents in the dead of night.

I felt the sense of place, the weather, the cold in that house in my bones' EMMA CURTIS 'Gripping, creepy and drenched in atmosphere' CATHERINE RYAN HOWARD 'This irresistible slow-burn thriller is as much a study of family dynamics as it is a creepy & suspense-filled spine-tingler' FIONA CUMMINS.
