The woman remembers nothing except her own name, Sabrina, and has only the contents of her pockets as clues to her identity: a handkerchief, a pocket watch, a leather pouch, a torn scrap of paper and a gold ring. Sabrina is certain that she is on the run from someone, or something-how else to explain the bruises on her face and the pervasive sense of dread she feels? She's also certain that she trusts Alex to help her, and she can't deny the sparks that fly between them. As they race through the English countryside, Sabrina and Alex must solve the mystery of Sabrina's past-before whatever she's running from catches up to them.

Especially since they're working closely together to solve the kidnapping, an adventure that leads them to Lilah's peculiar childhood home, Barrow House, which sits atop an ancient fen and features an eerie maze on its grounds. They'll have to join together to conquer a sinister force… The more Con and Lilah uncover, the more they're convinced that the answers lie buried deep within Barrow House-answers to a mystery darker than either of them could ever have realized.
