About this Book: |
|
Ten-year-old Ellie Marie Prestwick was never afraid of the dark—until it came alive. Something happened one cool summer’s night as she lay in her bed, something new, something utterly terrifying. She heard footsteps, she heard voices—she heard ghosts. Two menacing spirits emerged from the darkness: a man in black and a woman in white. But they were only part of the terror, only a piece of the evil that was Prestwick Manor.
It was once hailed as the greatest construction in all of America. But even the greatest achievements are mired with evil deeds, even the brightest lights leave shades of darkness. Prestwick Manor was no exception. It held secrets of its own, dark secrets about the past, the present, and the future.
To save herself from unspeakable evil, Ellie must uncover secrets that have been buried for over two centuries. She has only her father, Charles Prestwick, a once famous writer still grieving over the death of his wife, and his literary agent, Emily Wilson, a sad woman still haunted by the horrors of her own childhood. With their help, Ellie searches for the answers hidden around her, all the while moving toward a conclusion no one could have foreseen.
