A place where the veil between worlds is gossamer thin...
Lucis Ferre, debonair heart surgeon is the man of fragile Ellis Harwood's dreams. Falling under his influence she becomes his wife, only to realise her husband is not what he seems. Lucis has a heart of darkness, forged in the foundry of his secret occult practices. On a harrowing winter's night, vulnerable Ellis' life is hanging by a thread, as the dream brutally becomes a nightmare and Lucis seeks to possess her very soul. Does Ellis have an Angel waiting in the wings to offer deliverance from the evil doctor and is there any sanctuary to be found from his cruelty? By a twist of fate, Ellis finds herself in the Hamlet of Wychwood. It is a place where the veil between worlds is gossamer thin, nothing is quite as it seems and magic abounds. Enigmatic Peter Cabot, local country Doctor and Hepzibah, his eccentric housekeeper, welcome her to enchanting Myrtle Cottage and set about healing her battered body and bruised heart. But the malevolent Lucis has unfinished business with his runaway wife and under cloak of darkness comes seeking to reclaim her. Magic surrounds Ellis whilst she remains at Myrtle cottage. Can she escape the powers of darkness if she steps outside the protective spell of Wychwood? And if she does, then who will win the battle for her eternal Soul?
