Book description
Up in the house that sits on the hill, a strange spell is brewing... To
Meridia, growing up with her father Gabriel, who vanishes daily in
clouds of mist, and her bewitching mother Ravenna, the outside world is
a refuge. So when as a young woman her true love Daniel offers her
marriage, it seems an escape to a more straightforward existence. Yet
behind the welcoming façade of her new home lies a life of drudgery and
a story even stranger than that she left behind. Aged retainers lurk in
the background; swarms of bees appear at will, and of course, there's
her indomitable mother-in-law, Eva, hiding secrets that it will take
Meridia years to unravel. Surrounded by seemingly unfathomable
mysteries, can Meridia unlock the intrigues of the past, and thus
protect her own family's future? An epic tale of two families told by an
unforgettable voice. A modern fable, a gothic page-turner, but most of
all, a passionate story about the power of love to conquer all that
comes its way.
