Fortune Blyth suffered the loss of a secret child when she was sixteen and vowed never to let another man touch her. Ten years later she is content living a spinster life with her Ma and beloved birds.
But when witch hunters come to town, it isn’t long before fingers are pointed her way, and Fortune is forced to choose – stay and hang, or marry a relative stranger and escape. She chooses marriage.
But her husband’s island residence is not the safe haven she was promised, reachable only by boat and housing both a surly housekeeper and eccentric mother-in-law. What’s more, there are secrets lurking in the shadows of the house, and Fortune is about to discover there are some things worse than death.
Perhaps she would have been better off hanging after all...
Jennifer Kennedy was born and raised in Liverpool, England. Her love of reading started young and by age ten was immersed in the contrasting worlds of the Brontës and Stephen King. She went on to study English Literature at Manchester Metropolitan University. Drawn to the supernatural and mysterious it was inevitable that she would go on to write gothic fiction. She dreams of living in a haunted mansion on the moors, but until then is content in her tiny house with her son and their extremely black cat.
