One for sorrow, two for fate...
A lone magpie perches on a headstone at Serpent's Manor, where the dead keep their secrets - and a grandfather clock counts the hours toward a reckoning.
Coby McTavish has returned to the cliff-top estate, burdened by a debt he can no longer ignore: he must reveal the truth about Daisy to the daughter who never knew her.
But the crumbling halls hold more than memories.
A coded note.
A wartime machine built for keeping secrets.
And a porcelain doll that has waited eighty years to speak.
Coby isn't the only one hunting through the shadows. Razor and Whisper - two fugitives with matching tattoos and a benefactor pulling their strings - have broken in to steal a fortune.
The ghosts of Serpent's Manor have plans for all of them.
With enemies closing in from both sides of the grave, every chime brings the prophecy closer to its final line:
When the clock strikes ten once more, Daisy waits behind the door.
