Skyfall

By Phania Lee

The year is 2021 - or is it? When Meg Kites buys a house in a rural Virginia community nestled in the Blue Ridge, she inherits a dark mystery about the Hill clan brewing for a hundred years. It begins when she sees a strange apparition on a country road at dawn, a man in top hat and black waistcoat who disappears before her eyes.

SKYFALL is a historical mystery/Appalachian ghost story. The past bleeds into the present, with Meg's growing fascination with the ghost of Caleb Hill, a 19th-century magician who was himself obsessed with the "etheric realm" and his beautiful wife Lucy. With a good deal of humor, the story alternates between Meg's daily duties as Welfare Director that begin to seem surreal and the mysteries of the Hill clan. Did Caleb's wife Lucy return to Ireland, as some believe, or did she end her own life, a secret hidden from her bereaved husband? What happened to Caleb, and why was an empty coffin buried in the town cemetery?

SKYFALL is the story of a love strong enough to endure death and betrayal. In her quest to reunite the spirits of Lucy and Caleb, Meg learns not only to believe in the redemption of love, but finds that she too, can open her heart to a last romance.
