But when her sister, Ellie, goes missing, Willow is drawn back to her old life. She must face her family, the sins of her past, and the darkness at the heart of a quiet Cornish community. What happened to Ellie? Can Willow uncover how close the enemy is, or will she become yet another victim of the Badlands?

In the depths of winter, Theo Sinclair arrives in the Norfolk Broads searching for answers to a twenty-five year mystery; the disappearance of Claire Baldwin. For Lily West, Theo's arrival is a welcome distraction from her grief and the questions she still has over her father's suicide the previous summer. For others in her village, Theo's arrival is a threat. As lies are uncovered and long buried secrets dragged back into the light, Lily, now haunted by ghostly visions, starts to realise that Claire's disappearance might be linked to her father's suicide. When the warnings and threats of the villagers turn to attempted murder, Lily has to decide what's more important; protecting the people she loves... ...or uncovering the truth.
