"...And it shall come to pass that at evening it shall be light..." With nothing more than a prophesy inscribed in her prayer book and a miniature portrait on a locket, young Jemma Wode, alone and far from her former home, embarks on an unwilling journey of self-discovery at an obscure rectory in northern, nineteenth-century England. Though the rectory is spacious enough, the immense and abandoned manor house, The Arbour, dominates the landscape and holds a shocking secret that will alter more than one life. Living under its shadow, she finds that she has to leave behind more than just her past and its narrow securities in order to escape a loveless future.
