Londres, década de 1880. La joven Constance Langton crece en un entorno familiar marcado por un padre distante y una madre en perpetuo luto por el hijo muerto. Tras acudir a una sesión de espiritismo con trágicas consecuencias, Constance se queda sola y lo único que recibe es una misteriosa herencia: la lúgubre mansión de Wraxford Hall, envuelta en una leyenda maldita.

Viola Hatherley was a writer of ghost stories in the 1890s whose work lies forgotten until her great-grandson, as a young boy in Mawson, Australia, learns how to open the secret drawer in his mother's room. There he finds a manuscript, and from the moment his mother catches him in the act, Gerard Freeman's life is irrevocably changed. What is the invisible, ever-present threat from which his mother strives so obsessively to protect him? And why should stories written a century ago entwine themselves ever more closely around events in his own life? Gerard's quest to unveil the mystery that shrouds his family, and his life, will lead him from Mawson to London, to a long-abandoned house and the terror of a ghost story come alive.
