THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER SELECTED AS ONE OF THE OBSERVER''S 10 BEST DEBUT NOVELISTS OF 2022 ''It''s hard to believe that such an accomplished novel could be a debut - The Leviathan is a gloriously dark story that sweeps you along to its harrowing yet satisfying conclusion. Superb'' Susan Stokes-Chapman, number one bestselling author of Pandora ''Darkly compelling and dripping with atmosphere... bewitching'' Stacey Halls, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE FAMILIARS A beguiling tale of superstition, myth and murder, perfect for fans of The Binding, The Essex Serpent and Once Upon a River. 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 researched, incredibly 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
