If you go down to the woods today you'd better not go alone...
In the summer of 1990, Caroline and Joanna are sent to stay with their great-aunt Dora, to spend their holidays in the sunlit village of Witchwood in rural Gloucestershire. The countryside is a welcome break from the trauma they know back home in the city; a chance to make the world a joyful playground again. But the shadowy woods at the edge of the village hide secrets that will bring their innocence to a distressing end and make this a summer these sisters will never forget.
Beneath the trees where nobody sees...
Years later, a shocking act of violence sends Joanna back to Witchwood. In her great-aunt's lonely and dilapidated cottage, she will attempt to unearth the secrets of that terrifying summer and come to terms with the haunting effects it has left on her life. But in her quest to find answers, who can she trust? And will she be able to survive the impending danger from those trying to bury the truth?
