The Curse of the Saltmarsh Girl

The dark marsh stretches around Margery. She can hear the sound of her mother's voice, crying. Or is it the wind...? Will she get out of here alive? 1665: When Margery arrives in Saltmarsh looking for her mother, she finds silence, secrets, and backs turned. But she is not the only thing that has arrived. As the Plague falls on the village, leaving almost no man, woman or child alive, rumours circulate - about a demon dog, about lights floating above the waters, about voices in the dark... And about a girl, one who has brought a curse. With Margery's mother missing, it becomes clear that these remote, desolate marshes are about to become the most dangerous ground she's ever stepped on... Now: A beautiful young opera singer named Angel Bailey has arrived in Saltmarsh. She's there to visit her adoptive brother, but she's also running away. Because, after years of longing to know where she came from, she's received word from a woman claiming to be her sister, saying their birth mother's dying wish is to meet the child she abandoned. But when Angel becomes fascinated with the story of another mother and daughter, and a centuries old curse on the marsh, the land beneath her feet is about to shift forever...
