When Detective Inspector Tony Shaw tells him the obvious occult symbols on the dead man are nothing more than faked staging, Lorne knows his instincts are right, and the police are wrong. There is darkness and it’s spreading. An ancient spirit line is awoken with violence and pain, seeping down from Dunkery Beacon, highest point on Exmoor, to the woodland church of Culbone on the coast. Lorne Turner, SAS soldier and survivalist trainer turns to his best friend, Ella Morgan, vicar of the parish for help. Together they approach Willow Hunter, a pagan whose past impacts all their futures. Time is against them as they battle the unseen forces of Somerset’s aristocracy and the mysteries of an ancient moorland, never quite tamed. Its whispering dead seeking justice. |

The grave of a witch, who cursed the village. The grave of a soldier, who tried to escape the Hanging Judge after the Monmouth Rebellion. The grave of a priest, broken by love and grief. When the whispering of Exmoor’s dead turns into a scream, Lorne has to act. The original families of Scob must face their debt. Lorne, Ella, Willow, and Heather need to find a way to balance the scales before more lives are lost. Can they survive the haunting misery of the old bones? Can they save each other from the beckoning darkness? And the rain. Always the rain. |
