The sea is gradually encroaching on the derelict tower, but the old Glaum Bell still hangs in the lonely bell chamber and although it was silenced after an act of appalling brutality during the reign of Henry VIII, local people whisper that its chime is still occasionally heard. <p/>As Nell and Michael Flint discover, the tower is mysteriously entangled with the story of Thaisa and a 400-year-old tragedy that has echoed down the centuries.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The haunted-house theme is one of the most venerable in the genre, and Rayne has given it new life in this series, drawing again and again on the secrets contained within structures built originally to keep us safe"-- "Booklist Starred Review"<br><br>The perfect mixture of historical fiction, . . . the supernatural; and the intense suspense proves to be a winning combination.
