Death is not an ending...

I faced the truth of my family history and my childhood trauma. But adjusting to this new reality meant writing the book I had done my best to avoid.

Once finished, I sat absorbed in the last line: Death is not an ending. This is certainly true with my ancestry. In death, all Hardacres return to the Priory. However, I awoke to a solitary existence.

Then Josie Scarfe arrived at the door, wanting answers. We were never friends as children, but now I cannot ignore our connection.

Returning the holy relic may have banished the evil, yet we have only just begun to unravel the ancient lore at the foundations of Hardacre Priory.
