When eighteen-year-old Samuel Blackwood is sent to Wintershelm to live with his estranged mother, he expects a dull and banal life. What he finds instead is a town drenched in mystery. The townsfolk seem to know him, though he has never been there. At the centre of it all are the Pendragon sisters - Elizabeth, Elsa and Paige - magical and charming, yet unsettlingly connected to the strange events surrounding Samuel.
As the curious teenager digs deep into Wintershelm's past, he uncovers buried truths about his own family - a history tied to the village in ways he cannot escape. But Wintershelm has a way of holding onto its secrets - and its people. With danger closing in, Samuel must uncover the truth about the village, the Pendragons and the strange forces tied to his name. In Wintershelm, secrets have a way of finding you, even if you'd leave them behind.
