Ellie is a talented artist. With her sister Jen, she writes and illustrates a successful magazine column. Their adventures take them on journeys all over the UK, but she is particularly drawn to the beautiful villages of the Cotswolds, and wants to find out more about their history.
When Ellie falls in love with Luke, who shares her wanderlust, she discovers that he has a much longer and darker past than she could ever have imagined.
