Manchester, December 1940. This winter, the girls boarding at Star House - Betty, Sally and Lorna - are determined to keep a stiff upper lip. But for Lorna - who is dedicated to caring for the wounded with the Women's Voluntary Service - the past is about to come calling. She is heartbroken when the devastating Christmas Blitz reunites her with her ex-fiance George. As air raids and rescue missions throw George and Lorna together time and again, it becomes clear that nothing about his visit to Manchester is what it seems. Can George and Lorna work together, despite everything that happened between them? Will Lorna's courage to do all she can for the war effort be enough to save George? And when snow begins to fall on a New Year's Day shattered by the Luftwaffe, will she allow her heart to open once more?
The year is 1885 and a young woman is on the run, knowing if she's caught, she'll be hanged for murder. Moments from a safe haven, she collides with a gruff stranger, falling and breaking her ankle. To her surprise, the man - Marcus Greybourne - convinces the local constable that she is his reclusive wife of ten years, Luna. He carries her back to the neglected and crumbling Ravenswood Hall, promising if she agrees to maintain this charade, he will keep her safe until her injuries have healed. But the house is haunted by shadows and secrets. What's more, the real Luna Greybourne is missing, without trace. Scratches and marks made by her around the house suggest witchcraft; and indeed Luna is known locally as the Ravenswood Witch; her reputation in tatters, like the wallpapers of the padlocked rooms she'd destroyed. As strange happenings in the house continue, outside the screech of a raven echoes across oppressive woods that seem alive with dark magic. And the woman who is now pretending to be Luna can't help but fear she's escaped the noose for a far more terrible fate. . .
