    Simultaneously with his promotion to major in acknowledgement of his actions at the Battle, he is called to London at the behest of a dying grandfather, a merchant who had disowned him, disapproving of his mother's marriage. Perry discovers he is the sole surviving heir . . . and rich.

    In a land veiled by mists and steeped in history, The Hollow Vale weaves a haunting tale of fate, sacrifice, and the indelible pull of memory. Velden Nan-once Eadgifu-heeds the call of the Wyrd, leaving behind her daughter, Ethelwyn, and the familiar rhythms of life in Elderglen. Under the shadow of the Thorn Tree, where ancient roots coil around secrets long buried, the Spiral turns, binding past, present, and future in unyielding threads. 
     Set against a backdrop inspired by the marshes, hills, and ruins of Somerset, this richly imagined story explores the tension between faith and folklore, memory and loss. From the perilous waters of the Wyther Isles, where the sea tolls its mournful bell, to the sacred Isle of Batt, where Pagan shrines and Christian sanctuaries whisper uneasily of the past, the narrative dances between the tangible and the ethereal. 
     As Ethelwyn uncovers her family's legacy, she is drawn ever deeper into the Wyrd's embrace-a force that echoes through glades where silence breathes, through ruins where shadows linger, and through lives intertwined by the spiral's eternal turning. History becomes a mirror and a shadow, refracted through longing and the toll of unspoken truths. 
    Evocative and timeless, The Hollow Vale is a journey into the spaces between myth and reality, where the weight of ancestral memory and the call of the unknown ask the ultimate question: How far would you follow the threads of fate?

    “Mixing Romance and Mystery in a Fizzy 1930s Cocktail!” 
    In this seventh book of the series, Clive and Henrietta return to England to find Castle Linley in financial ruin. When Clive’s cousin, Wallace, invites an estate agent in to assess the home’s value, the agent is later found poisoned, throwing all of the Castle’s guests into suspicion. Clive and Henrietta are soon drawn into an investigation, which is slowed by an incompetent local inspector and several unexplained phenomena―the cause of which many, especially the frail Lady Linley, believe to be the workings of the ghost of a hanged maid. 
    Meanwhile, Gunther and Elsie have begun life on a farm in Omaha. Circumstances are difficult, but they are content―until Oldrich Exely appears, proposing an option Elsie finds difficult to ignore. Melody Merriweather, still masquerading as a nun to aid Elsie’s escape, likewise finds it difficult to ignore a letter with tragic news from home, while Julia, on the other hand, receives a very different sort of letter from Glenn Forbes. 
    Back in England, Clive is called away to London on suspicious business, leaving Henrietta to carry on with the investigation alone. When she is mysteriously locked in the study one night, however, things take on a more deadly, supernatural feel, leaving her to fear that Lady Linley's “ghost” might just be real after all…
