As snow surrounds a lonely cottage on the moors, buried secrets start to surface.
When Grace's husband, Adam, inherits a cottage on the isolated North Yorkshire moors, they leave London behind to try a new life. A week later, Adam vanishes, leaving their baby daughter on the doorstep.
Desperate for answers, Grace returns to the tiny village the following year, but as she learns more about the locals and their folklore, strange dreams trouble her. Are the villagers hiding something, or is she becoming paranoid?
Only as snowfall threatens to cut them off from the rest of the world does Grace begin to understand how close the threat lies, and that she and her daughter face terrible danger.
A suspenseful, heart-stopping modern gothic about letting go of the past.
