Description

There is a darkness so great, it obliterates everything. Even the heart. It started the day the first horse died. That was the day things began to spin apart, the moment a shadow passed over the farm and would not leave. The Foley family were in trouble long before that - their land plunged into debt, each of them struggling in their own way to stay afloat: Asa, the good-hearted father, Maeve, the tough but loving mother, Larkin the perfect, loyal son - and sweet little Morgayna, the joy in all their lives. And then, set apart from the rest of the family is sixteen-year-old Kerry, a strange, reclusive girl - ever distant, watchful. The horse was only the first - one by one, the animals on the farm start to die. Then strange things begin to happen in the house, as though a dark thing has stirred and will not rest. Meanwhile, Kerry is drawn to an attic room where secrets await - they lead her back to a past she has fought to forget, to the origins of her family and the genesis of something terrible. What Kerry discovers there is more shocking than anything she could ever have imagined...
