**THE PUZZLE WOOD IS AVAILABLE TO PREORDER NOW - OUT MAY 2024**THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERSHORTLISTED FOR THE INDIE BOOK AWARDS 2023SHORTLISTED FOR THE GOLDSBORO GLASS BELL AWARD 2023 _______________‘Superb’ - Susan Stokes-Chapman, bestselling author of PANDORA‘Bewitching’ - Stacey Halls, bestselling author of THE FAMILIARS _______________SHE IS AWAKE... Norfolk, 1643. Reluctant soldier Thomas Treadwater has been summoned home by his young sister in a letter accusing their new servant of improper conduct with their widowed father.

By the time Thomas reaches the family farm, his father is on the verge of death, Esther is near hysterical and their new servant is in prison, facing charges of witchcraft.

Thomas prides himself on being a rational, modern man.

He is confident that he can free their servant, a beautiful if peculiarly self possessed young woman, and reassure his sister that there is nothing further to fear, now he has returned.

But as he begins to unravels the mystery of what has happened to his family, he uncovers a tale, not of witchcraft, but of something dark and ancient, linked to a shipwreck many years before... Something has awoken, and now it will not rest. Richly atmospheric and deliciously unsettling, The Leviathan is a tale of family and loyalty, superstition and sacrifice, but most of all it is a spellbinding mystery and a story of impossible things. _______________‘Outstanding... a seething, haunting delight’ - Beth Underdown, award-winning author of THE WITCHFINDER'S SISTER ‘Thoroughly gripping and utterly absorbing’ - Jennifer Saint, author of ARIADNE_______________
