From the Back Cover

In the remains of an abbey, ruined since 1538, lies a grave. There is no name on the bleak concrete slab covering a lead coffin, but below lies the body of Ankeret Leighton. The lady is not dead but merely waiting for the person with the right psychic abilities to release her. That time comes with the arrival of a delinquent, unaware that his fate is irrevocably bound with hers. She seizes his life, and freed into her original form attempts to find her way in the modern world. Being a link between Tudor and modern times , she attracts spirits and demons, and her life becomes a constant struggle to remain ahead of their intrigues. Can she prevent them claiming her soul and returning her to the tomb?

About the Author

The author lives in isolation in Darkest Norfolk UK with naught but an enhanced collection of computer hardware, a questionable wit and a writer's hat as company. He can be seen on nights of the full moon, howling at the keyboard in frustration, as the auto-correct fails to rectify even the simplest of fat fingered errors.
