THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER _______________ 'A gloriously dark story that sweeps you along to its harrowing yet satisfying conclusion. Superb' - Susan Stokes-Chapman, bestselling author of PANDORA 'Darkly compelling and dripping with atmosphere... bewitching' - Stacey Halls, bestselling author of THE FAMILIARS _______________ SHE IS AWAKE... Norfolk, 1643. With civil war tearing England apart, reluctant soldier Thomas Treadwater is summoned home by his sister, who accuses a new servant of improper conduct with their widowed father. By the time Thomas returns home, his father is insensible, felled by a stroke, and their new servant is in prison, facing charges of witchcraft. Thomas prides himself on being a rational, modern man, but as he unravels the mystery of what has happened, he uncovers not a tale of superstition but something dark and ancient, linked to a shipwreck years before. Something has awoken, and now it will not rest. Richly atmospheric and deliciously unsettling, The Leviathan is set in England during a time of political and religious turbulence. It is a tale of family and loyalty, superstition and sacrifice, but most of all it is a spellbinding mystery and a story of impossible things... _______________ 'Outstanding... a seething, haunting delight' - Beth Underdown, award-winning author of THE WITCHFINDER'S SISTER 'Thoroughly gripping and utterly absorbing' - Jennifer Saint, author of ARIADNE *ROSIE ANDREWS' The Puzzle Wood coming in 2024* _______________
