Book Two of the Iona Kyle Series People are dying to spend time in the Northumbrian village of Craggan. Iona Kyle works as a therapist in the city of York, carefully hiding from her dark past in an occult circle, while covertly helping people with her psychic skills and ritual magic. Her anonymity is threatened when Julian King, a professor from her university days, recognizes her and asks for assistance. King is an occultist too and was hired by the small Northumbrian community of Craggan to assist in a project involving an obscure magical rite. Iona meets the enigmatic Sir Markus Lindegaard, squire of this coastal village, and notices that all the residents have Scandinavian surnames. She discovers the reason for this and why so many wealthy celebrities visit the place to recuperate. The horrific answer involves Craggans ever-present mist and her own grandfather.
