Horror | Humor

Discharged unexpectedly from the British military at the peak of her career, Jade Palmer must find a way to rebuild her life. Haunted by strange nightmares and fragments of her own fractured memories, Jade finds herself thrust among unfriendly family and unfamiliar friends. Her only comfort is in the cobbled streets, quaint cottages and winding river paths that hold the happy echoes of her childhood.

 

But in the local cemetery, older than living memory, a strange mist rises among the willows in the depths of the night... and with it, a vengeful entity that seems to stalk Jade's every footstep with terrifying purpose.

 

Alongside her faithful dog, Cannelloni, and wild-child sister, Leela, Jade must fight once more-braving a tangled journey through ancient supernatural lore, and the depths of her own hubris, to protect those she loves.

 

For the dead have truths to tell... and their retribution comes as cold as the grave.

 

Mist in the Willows, the first entry in the Spirit Fleet Chronicles, is a chilling and cozy gothic novel about loss, cupcakes, annoying family, mysterious steampunk strangers, and the ways in which violence may haunt us all.
