Scottish Children’s Book Award winner
The Morton family are cursed. Their house is haunted by eerie footsteps, a ghostly figure and whispers in the night.
Together, Samuel and Fiona discover a deadly tale of betrayal, revenge, and a family secret long forgotten.
Trapped by snow and ice, can they escape the chill or will the Morton children be doomed to repeat the past forever?
