A man will do anything to get what he wants. He's no conscience - even when it's a woman who stands in his way.
“Somewhere there is water seeping through the stones and gathering in a pool. The resounding echo of its drip marks the passing of time. It is the only sound to break the silence since he left and barred the door.”
At forty, Brigitte Anders still believes in fairytales and daydreams of happy endings. She leads a quiet life, in the flatlands of the East Anglian fens, in a village which is built around the grounds of an old monastery. It's a place where the ghosts refuse to lay to rest.
Strange and inexplicable things begin to happen to Brigitte and she undertakes past life regression hoping it will help to unravel the mysteries which surround her. But life just gets more confusing and it isn't until she meets Jack Jamieson, an Irish medium visiting the area for an Holistic fair, she realises she's being visited by phantoms from the past.
Jack looks all set to be Brigitte's hero. With him she begins to discover a world she never knew existed. But nobody is perfect and least of all Jack. His obsession with a fifth century historical figure leads Brigitte to discover life with Jack is no fairytale.
