Some children are born innocent. Others are born ancient.

When Lennie Baker's car wraps around a centuries-old yew tree, no one suspects his death was orchestrated by six-year-old Rosie. No one except her mother Elly, who watches in growing horror as her daughter's true nature emerges.

In the shadow of Shortbury Prison, where medieval stones hold dark secrets, Clare mourns the loss of her boyfriend Lennie while sensing something is terribly wrong. As children begin to disappear from the village, both women confront an horrifying truth: Rosie isn't just a troubled child—she's a vessel for something that has waited centuries to feed again.

Deep beneath the prison, an ancient evil stirs. It knows Rosie. It hungers for her real father. And it's ready to reclaim what was always meant to be its own.

A chilling gothic horror that weaves British folklore with maternal terror, perfect for fans of Shirley Jackson's 'The Haunting of Hill House' and Andrew Michael Hurley's 'The Loney.'

"Rosie Shadow is an extremely well-written, spine-chilling, addictive read that had me captivated from the first page and glued to my Kindle. It's perfectly paced, beautifully descriptive and has a cast of vivid, realistic characters. I would love to watch a film adaptation of this brilliant book. Worth all the stars and more and very, very highly recommended" Kindle Customer
