To find out what’s got her mom so frightened in her own home, Sam will go digging for the truth. But some secrets are better left buried. Also by T.

Durant anys, l’Alex s’ha mantingut al marge de les supersticions dels vilatans, però aviat comença a créixer dins seu el neguit que una presència pertorba la casa... així com els somnis de tothom qui s’hi gosa allotjar. T. Kingfisher, la reina indiscutible del terror, ens sorprèn amb una nova aventura gòtica ambientada en una Gal·làcia deliciosament fosca, on llegendes i monstres cobren vida per a la dissort de creients i escèptics.
