HOUSE OF SHADOWS a gripping and intriguing historical time slip set in Elizabethan England
Pamela Hartshorne
'Powerful and thrilling read . . . You won't be able to rest until the end.' The Sun
When Kate Vavasour wakes in a hospital bed, she remembers nothing about her life or the family anxiously waiting by her side.
Diagnosed with post-traumatic amnesia, the doctors assure her her memories will return — except the memories that resurface aren’t hers. They belong to Isabel Vavasour, a woman who lived and died at Askerby Hall over four hundred years ago . . .
Desperate to recover, Kate returns to Askerby Hall, only to find herself trapped in a house shrouded in shadows and secrets. Unable to recognise her family, friends, or even her young son, she begins unraveling the truth behind her accident — and discovers that life at Askerby is far darker than the prestigious Vavasour name suggests. The family’s carefully crafted image is a lie.
To uncover what really happened to her and reclaim her memories, Kate must first confront the haunting mystery of Isabel’s past. Was Isabel truly mad, or had she been betrayed by the one person she trusted most?
Perfect for fans of Barbara Erskine, Lucinda Riley and Kate Morton.
