Description

Stephen Blackwood, out of work photographer, lives in the quiet village of Ravensleigh which lies in the shadow of Ravensweald Hall where whispers of ghosts and ancient curses linger.

Stephen has led a seemingly uneventful life until his ex-partner is killed and their child is hospitalised. Desperate for work in order to care for his son, he visits the mysterious five-sided tower in the grounds of Ravensweald Hall for a photo-shoot for a new job. It is here where Stephen is flung through time to civil war England, 1644. The tower will be his exit back to his time and home, but he soon learns that he must remain in the past for a year – those are the rules.

The world he has entered is perilous and bound by old laws, witchcraft and superstition. With danger closing in and an evil adversary on his trail, Stephen uncovers secrets buried in the Hall’s shadowy past. Haunted by strange occurrences and helped by some of the enigmatic individuals he meets, Stephen must confront the dark forces at play. His loyalties are tested and he is faced with difficult, if not impossible choices.

Will he reunite with his gravely ill son? Will Hope be enough? Stephen’s survival is, by no means, a given.
