Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A gripping story of love, survival and moral compromise in Victorian prisons and workhouses - and Dartmoor's darkest woodland.In the freezing winter of 1891, servants Jenny and Tom are cast out when Jenny falls pregnant.Thrown into a world without certainty or safety, Tom must protect the woman he loves and the child she carries. Jenny is determined her baby will not inherit the misery that shaped her own life.But survival demands hard choices. An act of desperation sparks consequences that reach from a quiet market town to the wilds of Dartmoor - a place haunted by rumours of ghostly beasts.Yet the true danger lies not in legends, but in what hardship can force people to become.
