  Description：
  They never loved her. They never even looked for her.
  
  Peach was the unwanted daughter—born after her twin brother didn't survive. Her family made sure she knew it. Every day. Every choice.
  
  When her sister marries the man Peach loved, no one expects her to show up. But when she doesn't, they're not worried. They're angry. Her mother curses her. Her brother calls her selfish. Her father disowns her.
  
  They don't know that Peach is already dead.
  
  Murdered the night before the wedding. Her body buried where no one would look.
  
  Now, as a ghost bound to the family that never wanted her, Peach watches them eat, argue, and move on. Until grief and guilt begin to tear them apart from the inside.
  
  A haunting, heartbreaking story about the daughter no one loved—and what happens when it's too late to try.

  ‘Paul Smith has not only written a wonderful book, he has completed a sacred mission here by depriving us of some of our indifference, and ensuring that the darkness and the light of Ravensbruck will not be unremembered’ Don Snyder, Author of The Tin Nose Shop

  Their determined unity and the secret network of information they construct, reflect the real-life acts of resistance carried out by women during history’s darkest chapters—resonating deeply with readers drawn to true stories of female courage, resilience, and solidarity under Nazi oppression.

  'The fourth book in G J Williams's Tudor Rose Murders series is, like its predecessors, a fast-moving and enjoyable mystery' The Sunday Times, May 2026 
  'The Tudor Rose series has already firmly established itself as one of the best historical crime series today, and The Assassin's Mark has set the standard even higher' Chris Lloyd 
  'Another absolute gem of a novel. Williams paints a vivid gripping picture of life – and death – in Tudor times. Don't let anyone prise it from your grasp until it's done' Zoe Sharp 
  'G J Williams brings her fascinating wealth of knowledge about Tudor England to another cracking mystery' Guy Jenkin 
  It is March 1570 and Elizabeth’s court has just crushed the Northern rebellion that sought to throw her from the throne in favour of Mary Queen of Scots. 
  Relief is shattered when a body is found near the palace. The ritualistic killing, a cloven hoof-print, a calling card, and the terrifying message daubed on the wall, point to a long-forgotten pagan deity linked to the Templars. 
  John Dee and Margaretta must navigate a community under threat, a pattern of poisoning, a City in fear of a spectre, and the dark arts of rival queens as they race between England and the courts of France to uncover an assassin known only as Baphomet. 
  'Compelling and meticulously researched, you're drawn into the dark heart of a disturbing crime. The Assassin's Mark is another triumph for G J Williams' Sarah Ward 
  'A masterly and compelling historical mystery and a real page-turner' Mark Ellis 
  'This fast paced and thoughtful adventure already makes me impatient for Williams' next book' Adele Jordan 
  'An engaging and entertaining historical mystery with an imaginative premise' Historical Novel Society

  The attacks are brutal, leaving the victims unconscious and broken. A powerful Mindhealer might be able to piece together what's happening to these crushed bodies and shattered minds, so Caroline Robbins is pulled away from her relatively quiet life. It's dangerous—Mindhealers are incredibly vulnerable to the Dark—and Caro refuses even the idea of having a Watcher. She won't have another man die in front of her, and that's that. Unfortunately, the Watcher she just ran into has other ideas . . .
  Caro, the witch Merrick rescues from the dogs of the Dark, is obnoxiously stubborn, infuriating, and seemingly determined to throw herself into every dangerous situation possible. It's enough to drive a man insane, and definitely enough to make a Watcher frustrated. How is he supposed to protect her, especially when she insists she doesn't need a Watcher? But Caro is going to need all of Merrick's skill and strength sooner than anyone guesses. The attacks haven't stopped, and the closer Caro gets to solving the mystery, the more danger she's in. Because she's the next victim—unless Merrick can save her. And Merrick just might die in the line of fire if Caro can't find a way to keep her Watcher safe.
