The Seance

Wraxford Hall, a decaying mansion in the English countryside, has a sinister reputation. Once a family disappeared there. Now Constance Langton has inherited this dark place as well as the mysteries surrounding it. Having grown up in a house marked by the death of her sister, Constance is no stranger to mystery, secrets, and the dark magic around us. She has even attended a seance in the hopes of finding comfort for her mother beyond the grave. Tragic consequences follow and she is left alone in the world. Alone with Wraxford Hall. And Constance must find the truth at the heart of all these disappearances, appartions, betrayal, blackmail, and villainy, even if it costs her life.
