Transferred to a base just outside Ipswich in England Mark, anxious for Julie, and their adopted son Andrew to join him leases a rambling but somewhat rundown Victorian Manor house called Thornwood.

Built in 1860 Thornwood is not what it seems and almost at once Julie discovered the dream has turned into a nightmare. The Stanley's, Edmund, Endora and their son Nathan who built Thornwood are still in residence and have been waiting for Julie's arrival for almost a hundred years. Pretending to seek redemption for her past sins, sins that sent Endora to hell for eternity, she's actually seeking revenge and now that Julie has arrived she intends to get it.

In this absorbing paranormal page-turner, Julie's life begins to spiral out of control as she starts to question everything—even her own sanity.
