are hiding things from him. Why is the west tower out of bounds? How did Lady Priscilla’s sister die? And who is the stranger he keeps seeing in the park? As Stephen gets more entangled in the house’s mysteries, he realises that he must do the opposite of what he was hired for, and find out why Lady Priscilla has no right to the barony. But someone has already killed to protect that secret, and they will not hesitate to hurt Stephen, or to damage the fragile love he has found at Ravenswick. The Heir of Ravenswick is a queer historical novel inspired by the sensation fiction of the nineteenth century, from the author of The Savages of Falcote.
