Monsters are very real and when Gwen's friend is killed she finds herself on the run and hunted. She gains an unusual ally in a ghostly vigilante, the Phantom Archer. He offers her protection if, in return, she can help him solve his own mystery. She is led to the Lockwood estate where she meets the enigmatic Lady Lockwood who is on the trail of her brother's killer, and offers to help Gwen figure out the Phantom Archer's mysterious messages.
Gwen learns there is more to the manor house than meets the eye and finds herself involved in daring escapes and dangerous situations that will reveal a long-hidden secret that will change her life forever. Set in a historical backdrop of Tudor England this book is inspired by folklore and fairytales some well-known and others mostly forgotten.
