Two bodies are discovered buried in the Fens - two young women, unidentified, unexplained. Sisters Ivy and Sophie set out to uncover who they were. What they find reaches back thirteen centuries, to two other young women who came to Ely in 678 seeking shelter - and carrying secrets of their own. A single mother and a busy teacher, Ivy is stretched very thin. She longs for love but can never find the hours for herself. Will she ever find love again? Beautiful blonde Sophie seems to have it all, but appearances can be deceptive. She finally finds the courage to leave her cheating boyfriend - then asks what, and who, comes next. Princess Aelfwine and her maid, Anya, arrive at the monastic community at Ely, seeking safety in a strange place. They are bathed in secrets. Whether shelter is truly on offer - and what it will cost them - is the question that is slowly answered. Thirteen centuries apart, the same water, the same sky. Read this when you want a mystery that lingers like moonlight. Based on a real-life Fenland mystery. A story buried for thirteen centuries-where four women are bound by the same wetland, the same longing, and the same need for safety. Why it hits: Dual timelines - Sisterhood - Buried secrets - Belonging - The land remembers Four lives. One landscape. Twelve cycles of the moon.
