About this ebook

England, 1943. Deep in the countryside, a remote school hides a terrible secret. And the dead are beginning to stir.


When Ivy Jones is sent to Beacon's Ash, a secluded boarding school for unmarried mothers, she soon discovers that the institution is far from the sanctuary it claims to be. Ruled by the cruel and fanatically religious Jeremiah Kane, Beacon's Ash is a place where punishment is harsh, obedience is absolute, and the girls have nowhere to turn for help.


But something else is lurking within the school's walls.


When Ivy learns that a fellow student, Abigail Cartwright, has died under horrific circumstances, she begins to suspect that the dead might not be resting peacefully. Strange noises echo through the corridors at night. Terrified girls claim to have seen ghostly figures. And an unseen hand seems to be reaching out from beyond the grave.


As Ivy struggles to uncover the truth about Abigail's death, she finds herself drawn into a terrifying battle between the living and the dead. Jeremiah Kane insists that the Devil is at work within the school, and that only he has the power to drive out the evil. But is Kane a righteous man fighting a supernatural threat, or a murderous monster hiding behind his faith?


And if the ghosts of Beacon's Ash really have returned for vengeance, who will survive when the dead finally take their revenge?
