    What if everything you thought you knew about reality was only half the story? 
    When the author stumbled upon a hidden collective known only as Image Carriers, his life changed forever. What they revealed were secrets never meant for the public—knowledge so powerful it challenges everything we have been told. 
    This book defies every boundary of what you think you know. It pierces the veil of forbidden wisdom, revealing truths long buried by those who fear their power. Within these pages are psychological tools of transformation—ancient methods capable of extraordinary healing, silenced for generations. At its core lies the greatest mystery of all: the Other Self—your cosmic double, a hidden force that shapes your fate from the shadows. Awaken it, and nothing in your life—or the world—will ever be the same again. 
    But this is not just about uncovering the shocking truth about life after death. It is a journey into covert gatherings, paranormal encounters, and mystical phenomena—a labyrinth of secret truths and elite deception. Guided by a circle of highly intuitive minds, the unsuspecting author was drawn into a world of shadows and light... and now, he is bringing you along with him. Are you ready for the ride?

    A truly spellbinding novel from the bestselling author of No.23 Burlington Square, Jenni Keer‘There are a lot of shadows at Ravenswood, so you will need to be strong…’ 
    The year is 1885 and a young woman is on the run, knowing if she’s caught, she’ll be hanged for murder. Moments from a safe haven, she collides with a gruff stranger, falling and breaking her ankle. 
    To her surprise, the man – Marcus Greybourne – convinces the local constable that she is his reclusive wife of ten years, Luna. He carries her back to the neglected and crumbling Ravenswood Hall, promising if she agrees to maintain this charade, he will keep her safe until her injuries have healed. 
    But the house is haunted by shadows and secrets. What’s more, the real Luna Greybourne is missing, without trace. Scratches and marks made by her around the house suggest witchcraft; and indeed Luna is known locally as the Ravenswood Witch; her reputation in tatters, like the wallpapers of the padlocked rooms she’d destroyed. 
    As strange happenings in the house continue, outside the screech of a raven echoes across oppressive woods that seem alive with dark magic. And the woman who is now pretending to be Luna can’t help but fear she’s escaped the noose for a far more terrible fate… 
    A completely compelling and unforgettable historical bookclub read – fans of Jane Eyre, Weyward and The Binding will be utterly spellbound.
