Britain, 1766: Werewolf Joseph Cornishe learns that his long-lost beloved Elizabeth has been ensnared by the undead in the Scottish Highlands. With love as his compass and desperation as his guide, he embarks on a perilous rescue, accompanied by his werewolf sons, the enigmatic Obeah sorceress Rose and other allies. The path to his lost love is strewn with adversaries of flesh and phantasm. But as the Highlands loom closer, a chilling realisation dawns on Joseph: the most menacing spectre is the one that lurks within his very soul. With Elizabeth's fate hanging in the balance, Joseph must harness his inner and outer strength to face an ancient evil threatening to obliterate their world.
Book IV of the Cornishe Chronicles continues the riveting Gothic saga of undying love, high-stakes supernatural adventure, and the eternal struggle between light and dark.
T. M. Tucker: “Working with Bryony Sutherland across the five books of The Cornishe Chronicles has been an absolute privilege. She is far more than an editor — she’s been a mentor who has helped me develop and grow as an author with each volume. Her meticulous attention to detail and deep understanding of narrative structure were invaluable, especially in weaving together the intricate threads and callbacks that span this complex historically-set series. Bryony has an exceptional ability to enhance a story while preserving the author’s unique voice. Her thoughtful guidance and expert insights have elevated every aspect of my writing. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in bringing the world of the Cornishe family to life, and I’m profoundly grateful for her dedication, wisdom and support throughout this journey.”
