Clara's country estate holds more than manicured gardens - it conceals the key to a centuries-old mystery. When she meets Alfie, an enigmatic boy who claims Clara herself brought him there, her world tilts. She has never seen him before.

As their secret friendship grows, Clara and Alfie uncover haunting parallels in their fractured memories. Her life before a coma is a blank; his early years are a mystery.

Delving into the estate's history, Clara unearths a tragic tale from centuries past. Could this explain her connection to Alfie? If so, a dark fate looms over them both.

Racing against time and destiny, Clara must convince her loved ones she's caught up in something beyond comprehension. Can she unravel the threads binding her to Alfie and rewrite a story centuries in the making? Or is this tragic tale doomed to replay for eternity?

'A rapturously beautiful story of a lost boy and two lost souls.'

'A supernatural story that weaves its way between the past and the present, whilst conjuring up pictures of the beautiful surroundings in which it is set.'

'Intriguing and complex with twists that leave you wanting to read the next chapter.'

The perfect read for fans of Barbara Erskine and Katherine Webb.
