The Leviathan

Rosie Andrews

From Shelf: Spooky, Witchy and Gothic Reads

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER SELECTED AS ONE OF THE OBSERVER'S 10 BEST DEBUT NOVELISTS OF 2022 'It's hard to believe that such an accomplished novel could be a debut... Superb' Susan Stokes-Chapman, number one bestselling author of Pandora 'Bewitching' Stacey Halls, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Familiars A beguiling, highly atmospheric tale of superstition, myth and murder, perfect for reading as the nights draw in. SHE IS AWAKE... Norfolk, 1643. With civil war tearing England apart, reluctant soldier Thomas Treadwater is summoned home by his sister, who accuses a new servant of improper conduct with their widowed father. By the time Thomas returns home, his father is insensible, felled by a stroke, and their new servant is in prison, facing charges of witchcraft. Thomas prides himself on being a rational, modern man, but as he unravels the mystery of what has happened, he uncovers not a tale of superstition but something dark and ancient, linked to a shipwreck years before. Something has awoken, and now it will not rest. Richly researched, incredibly atmospheric, and deliciously unsettling, The Leviathan is a tale of family and loyalty, superstition and sacrifice, but most of all it is a spellbinding mystery and a story of impossible things... 'Outstanding... a seething, haunting delight' Beth Underdown, award-winning author of THE WITCHFINDER'S SISTER 'Thoroughly gripping and utterly absorbing' Jennifer Saint, author of ARIADNE
