A spine-tingling Tudor ghost story from Alison Weir, the Sunday Times bestselling author of the Six Tudor Queens series.
I sit there frozen, unable to move, wondering if she will reappear. Either the house really is haunted, or I’m seeing things that aren’t there . . .
Oxfordshire, the present day. Lucy is grieving for the loss of her mother. In the depths of her heartbreak, she is invited to stay with her aunt, the custodian of a grand historic house.
Soon, Lucy becomes entangled in the mysteries of the beautiful but eerie Greys Court. Nobody lives here any more, except her aunt. But there are footprints in the dust. An inexplicable scent of roses. And visions of a weeping woman in black silk.
Then the nightmares begin. Something – or someone – is haunting Greys Court. But what is the house trying to tell her? Can Lucy unravel its secrets – and finally put the past to rest?
