'Pacy, gripping, beautifully written and utterly unforgettable.' Bestselling author Elena Collins⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Some legends never die – they wait for you to come home.

When Jess Morgan arrives in Northumberland to research the history of a crumbling chapel, she’s drawn to the legend of the Brinkburn Witch – a woman said to appear when blood is spilled near an ancient standing stone. But the longer Jess stays, the stranger things become. Whispers echo through empty corridors, shadows move where none should, and the boundary between dreams and memory begins to blur.

Over a century earlier, Eliza Stratford turned to the witch for help after a violent betrayal – and sealed her fate with a terrible bargain. Now her story, and the secrets she died to protect, are surfacing again.

As Jess unearths the truth behind the legend, she begins to suspect her own connection to the past runs deeper than she ever imagined – and that some ghosts will do anything to be remembered…

Atmospheric, haunting and rich with dark folklore, The Witch's Stone is a spellbinding gothic timeslip mystery where the past refuses to stay buried.
