These Fleeting Shadows

Helen Vaughan returns to Harrow after her grandfather’s death expecting an uncomfortable encounter with the family she left behind. Instead, she learns that inheriting the estate requires her to remain there for a year. The house offers little comfort: its spaces seem unreliable, its history is full of disappearances, and Helen’s own body begins to betray her. With help from her cousins and Bryony, an enigmatic young witch, she searches for an explanation that reaches beyond an eccentric inheritance. Her growing connection with Bryony offers a fragile point of trust amid increasingly disturbing discoveries. Harrow may contain answers about Helen’s childhood, but uncovering them means questioning the foundations of her family’s story.
