Über diesen Titel
WINNER OF THE 2018 TIMES/CHICKEN HOUSE CHILDREN'S FICTION COMPETITION.
Longlisted for The Branford Boase Award and History Association Young Quills Award 2021.
Susan Hill meets Jane Eyre with a YA twist. Stunning classic horror story in the vein of Mary Shelley set against the gorgeously atmospheric backdrop of St Kilda and the Scottish borderlands.
When Iseabail is employed by a wealthy merchant to be his daughter's companion, her life changes forever. Transported from her remote island home to the Scottish borderlands, Iseabail is unnerved both by her precocious young charge and the house's secrets: a hidden chapel, servants who speak in a foreign tongue, a mute stableboy. And then the merchant returns with a mysterious cargo. Why has Iseabail really been summoned here? Will Iseabail ever make it back home to her beloved island?

"[A] wonderful, twisted gothic novel...[an] evocation of a weird and wonderful world with compulsive characters and a cracking mystery at its core." (The Times)
"'Oozing atmosphere, this reads like a teenage version of recent gothic fantasies like The Binding or The Familiars: a deliciously chilling Elizabethan tale with an injection of horror." (The Observer)
"[An] atmospheric gothic chiller." (The Independent)
