But this comes at a price. She must leave her husband and their canal-side home in King's Cross and move to Tall Trees—a dark and ominous house in Fitzrovia. If Hester can cure the health of its owner, Gervais Chervil, she will receive a reward that will bring her everything she could dream of. But upon arriving at Tall Trees, Hester quickly discovers that an even greater task awaits her. Now she must uncover secrets that have been kept hidden for decades—including one that will change Hester's life forever...
