Description
A story from bestselling author, Heather Atkinson, guaranteed to keep you up at night. Will the Alardyce family be cursed forever...?
For generations, the Alardyce family have lived under the shadow of a curse. Some say it died with Robert Alardyce - the ruthless patriarch whose name was whispered in fear - but others know darkness like his never truly fades.
Decades later, Alardyce House stands empty, its secrets lost behind its walls. Until Kate Alardyce - Robert's sharp and ambitious great-granddaughter - decides it's time to reclaim her family's legacy. And Kate always gets what she wants...
As the family gathers, old secrets resurface, loyalties fracture and the air thickens with menace. When Kate's cousin, Cameron Alardyce walks through the door, his resemblance to Robert sends a chill through them all...and it isn't long before history begins to repeat itself.
But is the infamous curse really to blame... or is someone alive, watching, and ready to make the Alardyces pay in blood?
If you love Emily Organ and Ann Granger, you'll love the Alardyce series. Discover bestselling author Heather Atkinson and you'll never look back...
