THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
‘A gloriously dark story that sweeps you along to its harrowing yet satisfying conclusion. Superb’ Susan Stokes-Chapman, bestselling author of PANDORA
‘Darkly compelling and dripping with atmosphere… bewitching’ Stacey Halls, bestselling author of THE FAMILIARS SHE IS AWAKE…
Norfolk, 1643. With civil war tearing England apart, reluctant soldier Thomas Treadwater is summoned home by his sister, who accuses a new servant of improper conduct with their widowed father. By the time Thomas returns home, his father is insensible, felled by a stroke, and their new servant is in prison, facing charges of witchcraft. Thomas prides himself on being a rational, modern man, but as he unravels the mystery of what has happened, he uncovers not a tale of superstition but something dark and ancient, linked to a shipwreck years before. Something has awoken, and now it will not rest.
Richly atmospheric and deliciously unsettling, The Leviathan is set in England during a time of political and religious turbulence. It is a tale of family and loyalty, superstition and sacrifice, but most of all it is a spellbinding mystery and a story of impossible things…
‘Outstanding… a seething, haunting delight‘ Beth Underdown, award-winning author of THE WITCHFINDER’S SISTER
‘Thoroughly gripping and utterly absorbing‘ Jennifer Saint, author of ARIADNE
