Description
Eighteenth-century London and the lives of two families become intertwined in a mysterious and sinister tale. When a baby is brought to safety by the Fowler household, the family's lives are forever changed by an otherworldly phenomenon from Iceland. A hidden pool of water grants those who drink from it endless life, but at a terrible cost. As the centuries pass, the group must remain undiscovered in order to preserve the life of the baby and themselves. However, one member of their enclave proves more menacing than those who pursue them, and the very source of their sustenance begins to dry up. This gripping mystery explores the consequences of immortality and the lengths people will go to protect what is precious. With its dark and atmospheric setting, this novel is a compelling read for fans of mystery and detective fiction.
