| book description |

A twisty Gothic historical fantasy by the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Silent Companions Tabitha would do anything to remain at her ancestral home of Reynardâ€™s Hollow. So, while marrying her cousin Vincent isnâ€™t an inspiring proposition, things could be worse. He doesnâ€™t hold a candle to Kit, the gamekeeperâ€™s son and her childhood friend, but nothing would ever come of that anyway; sheâ€™s the lady of the manor, after all, and Kit is a servant. â€‹ Tabithaâ€™s world is thrown upside down when her cousin dies in a hunting accident. He was her best â€“ and only â€“ chance to remain at the Hollowâ€¦ so what will happen to her now? Why do his injuries look like the result of a brutal attack, rather than a bad fall? Is there something out there â€“ some sort of monster, still lurking in the woods? â€‹ Meanwhile, Kit is wrestling with demons of his own. His mother is acting strangely, and the other servantsâ€™ mutterings about his true parentage are growing louder. The household, already under strain, reaches a breaking point as loyalties are put to the test and long-buried secrets are unearthed. And then Kit makes a discovery: there is something in the woods, although he doesnâ€™t think itâ€™s a monster. â€‹But at Reynardâ€™s Hollow, things are not always as they appearâ€¦
