On the wild Yorkshire coast, Maisie hopes to uncover the secret of the long-running feud between her mother and her recently-deceased grandmother. But the locals in the tiny village of Solgreve are hardly welcoming. It seems the only person interested in talking to her is the dark-eyed gypsy, Sacha. Sacha knew her grandmother, Sybill, and they had shared an interest in the psychic arts. Then Maisie starts seeing a figure that exudes unearthly evil outside her tiny cottage.
In one of Sybill's old trunks Maisie has found a diary written by a young woman in the 18th century. Georgette had eloped with her poet lover from London to Solgreve - and entered a gothic world of grave robbing and diabolical science. As did Georgette two centuries earlier, Maisie gradually uncovers the terrifying dark secrets of Solgreve, and knows that she has to discover her own psychic powers to defeat the evil that threatens to claim her . . .
