Description

Somewhere a man known as the Saint of Silence pays in coin for every confession he hears, and the darker the secret, the more he is willing to give. Leena has carried a secret of her own since she was seventeen: she can see the dead. When her brother falls ill, she seeks out the Saint and discovers that her gift is worth far more to him than she ever imagined.

Heba Al-Wasity's novel joins gothic ghost story and fantasy to a slow-burning romance. Leena is drawn into the Saint's world of danger and desire, and the search for a particular ghost leads her to Weavingshaw, a cursed estate on the moors. Readers who like their love stories haunted, their houses forbidding and their moors thick with fog will find much to enjoy here.
