Reviews
"A haunting gothic mystery, set in the lush landscape of Georgian Wales... The evocation of time and place is just astounding in this novel...a stunning, transporting novel, full of dark magic, which keeps you completely gripped as the sinister mystery unfolds." -- Elodie Harper, author of The Wolf Den "A mesmerizing maze of a gothic Georgian mystery. Enter an eerie and liminal world steeped in superstition, Welsh folklore, and pagan cults. Gloriously atmospheric from the first dark page to the last." -- Essie Fox, author of The Fascination "A novel to read under the covers with a flashlight. I adored this deliciously dark and romantic journey to Georgian Wales, and stayed up far too late uncovering its secrets. Gloriously Gothic, and lovingly and carefully researched, The Shadow Key is an instant classic." -- Kate Heartfield, author of The Embroidered Book "The Shadow Key transports readers into a world of deception, superstition and harsh reality, in a richly imagined rural Georgian Wales. Guided by a convention-flouting heiress and a physician struggling for acceptance, we travel along scenic country paths, into impoverished villages, perilous mines and the most unsettling manor house. The mysteries and twists kept me turning the pages till the wee small hours - every character has something to hide. A sumptuous, dark feast of a novel." -- Susan C Wilson, author of Clytemnestra's Bind "Dark secrets unfold at galloping pace in this atmospheric and propulsive gothic mystery. With compelling, richly-drawn characters and clever, twisty plotting, The Shadow Key is an addictive and satisfying read from a masterful storyteller." -- Nikki Marmery, author of Lilith "Steeped in Welsh folklore, this atmospheric, beautifully written (and paced) tale of myth, murder and magic in the depths of rural Georgian Wales was my perfect escape. . . . a true gothic delight." -- Kate Griffin, author of Fyneshade "A marvelously evocative and tautly plotted treat, this book will have you longing to explore Welsh forests, rivers and mountains; folklore, fiendish villains, and fraught relations between classes all combine for a lush escape into a magical and macabre world." -- Naomi Kelsey, author of The Burnings
Synopsis
On an isolated estate in late-eighteenth-century rural Wales, a young English doctor uncovers dangerous secrets that may threaten his own life in this spellbinding Gothic tale from the bestselling author of Pandora. Dismissed from his post at a prestigious London hospital, Dr. Henry Talbot has little choice but to accept a mysterious offer of employment as a private physician from an inscrutable lord in rural Wales, Lord Julian. Arriving at Plas Helyg, the isolated estate, Henry can't speak the language and finds himself treated with hostile suspicion by superstitious villagers, whose beliefs in myths and magic he's inclined to dismiss. But when he discovers that his predecessor died under peculiar, inexplicable circumstances, his determination to uncover the truth leads him down a path fraught with danger--made all the more perilous by his headstrong, reluctant ally Linette, Lord Julian's cousin. Linette has lived a lonely life as Plas Helyg's unconventional mistress: Julian treats her with disdain, her father is long dead, and her mother, long plagued by strange spells and believed by everyone around her to be deeply unwell, spends most of her time locked away in her rooms. Fiercely self-reliant, Linette refuses to wear women's clothes, has no interest in marriage, and takes an interest in the welfare of the men working in Lord Julian's mines, against his wishes. Linette has always suspected something is not quite right in the village, but it is only through Henry's dogged investigations that the dark truth about those closest to her will come to light--a truth that will bind hers and Henry's destinies together forever in ways neither thought possible.
