Description
Some legends never die – they wait for you to come home.
When Jess Morgan arrives in Northumberland to research the history of a crumbling chapel, she’s drawn to the legend of the Brinkburn Witch – a woman said to appear when blood is spilled near an ancient standing stone. But the longer Jess stays, the stranger things become. Whispers echo through empty corridors, shadows move where none should, and the boundary between dreams and memory begins to blur.
Over a century earlier, Eliza Stratford turned to the witch for help after a violent betrayal – and sealed her fate with a terrible bargain. Now her story, and the secrets she died to protect, are surfacing again.
As Jess unearths the truth behind the legend, she begins to suspect her own connection to the past runs deeper than she ever imagined – and that some ghosts will do anything to be remembered…
Atmospheric, haunting and rich with dark folklore, The Witch's Stone is a spellbinding gothic timeslip mystery where the past refuses to stay buried.
'Utterly compelling, the timelines are woven together brilliantly in this pacy and emotional read.' Clare Marchant 'Kirsty Ferry draws the reader into the wild beauty of Northumbria in this captivating dual-timeline story. I couldn’t put it down.' Alexandra Walsh 'The queen of timeslips has well and truly reclaimed her crown. It’s goth, it’s spooky, it’s atmospheric and beautifully written.' Ella Cook 'Unputdownable...and delightfully spooky. Kirsty Ferry has created an atmosphere that's perfectly ghostly and beautiful, sad and dramatic, and doesn't disappoint at any point. The story is seamlessly intertwining past and present, not revealing anything too quickly, and I want to read it again.' Natalie Normann 'I couldn’t put it down. Kirsty keeps getting better and better. Can’t wait for the next one.' Anni Rose 'This cracking story has it all, dual timeline, witches, simmering romance, and the evocative atmosphere that I've come to expect from all of Kirsty's books. An absolute five-star read. Would give ten if I could.' Terry Lynn Thomas 'An absolute page-turner of a novel; the suspense builds and builds, keeping you enthralled to the very last page. I loved it. A great cast of characters keep you guessing too – will there be a ‘happy ever after’? No spoilers here – you’ll have to read the book!' Berni StevensWhy readers love Kirsty Ferry:
