Everything marred in that one dark minute. By day, Ivy Boscawen mourns the loss of her son Tim in the Great War. But by night she mourns another boy - one whose death decades ago haunts her still. For Ivy is sure that there is more to what happened all those years ago- the fire at the Great House, and the terrible events that came after. A truth she must uncover, if she is ever to be free.
