內容簡介

內容簡介 肺癆摧毀了露易絲．派恩克羅夫特的家庭，只留下她與父親相依為命、滿懷傷痛。然而派恩克羅夫特醫生正策劃一項革命性的實驗：他深信海風能治癒奪走妻兒生命的疾病，於是安排一群同樣罹病的囚犯，住進他位於康沃爾新居下方、鑿於峭壁中的住所。當他全心投入備受爭議的醫療試驗時，露易絲卻愈發不安——新來的女僕不斷向她訴說關於精靈的怪談：那些遊獵於大地之上的存在，專門尋找可以被擄走、帶入異界的人。 四十年後，海絲特．懷來到莫爾沃倫宅邸，擔任如今半身癱瘓、幾乎完全失語的派恩克羅夫特小姐的看護。海絲特逃離過往來到康沃爾，試圖擺脫自己的陰影；然而在一群迷信至深、動輒舉行怪異儀式的僕役環繞下，她很快發現，這座新居的危險，或許並不亞於她曾經逃離的地方。Consumption has ravaged Louise Pinecroft's family, leaving her and her father alone and heartbroken. But Dr Pinecroft has plans for a revolutionary experiment: convinced that sea air will prove to be the cure his wife and children needed, he arranges to house a group of prisoners suffering from the same disease in the cliffs beneath his new Cornish home. While he devotes himself to his controversial medical trials, Louise finds herself increasingly discomfited by the strange tales her new maid tells of the fairies that hunt the land, searching for those they can steal away to their realm. Forty years later, Hester Why arrives at Morvoren House to take up a position as nurse to the now partially paralysed and almost entirely mute Miss Pinecroft. Hester has fled to Cornwall to try and escape her past, but surrounded by superstitious staff enacting bizarre rituals, she soon discovers that her new home may be just as dangerous as her last.
