Description
On the run and desperate for work, Hester Why arrives at Morvoren House, an imposing estate perched on the Cornish cliffs, where she takes a position as a nursemaid to a troubled child. As she uncovers the house’s unsettling history—rooted in a doctor’s experiments, whispered tales of fairy kidnappings, and generations of illness—Hester finds herself drawn into a web of secrets that blurs the line between folklore and reality. Atmospheric and intricately researched, this Gothic mystery explores obsession, family legacy, medical cruelty, and the enduring power of superstition against the wild, haunting landscape of Cornwall.
