The Prisoner of Raven’s Gaze Hall

Foul deeds will rise…

England, 1919

Catherine Sisley is home from her nursing role in the war and mourning the death of her beloved, Captain Leo Beaufort. She is unsure about her future, and when a former patient, John Lestrange, writes to her asking if she will come to Raven’s Gaze Hall in Yorkshire to nurse his ailing grandmother, she decides to go.

But Raven’s Gaze turns out to be a house with a dark past.

There is the enigmatic Bennet Lestrange, John’s father, whom Catherine comes to dislike and fear. And there is the secrecy surrounding the deaths of John’s mother and brother, both of whom are never mentioned.

And then Catherine finds an old nursery with abandoned toys and a room with a hospital bed where a patient had obviously been restrained.

Feeling she is being spied on, and repulsed by the tense atmosphere, Catherine is determined to leave.

But something pulls her back…

Will Catherine uncover the mysteries lurking in the Hall? Can she find happiness again after the grief of the First World War?

Or will the darkness at Raven’s Gaze Hall take over her…?

THE PRISONER OF RAVEN’S GAZE HALL is a Gothic mystery set in England after the First World War, exposing family secrets and the legacy of trauma from the war and its aftermath.
