The decades that Matilda Mueller spent haunting her childhood home left her with nothing but a sense of pity and disgust for the living. Abandoned and alone, she prides herself on her level-headedness and sense of superiority - despite the creeping evil that infests the back bedroom.
But when darling Hannah and her new family move in, they disturb more than just a few cobwebs, and Matilda finds herself dealing with a bittersweet rush of emotions and the surfacing of memories best left buried.
Now, Matilda has to open her heart to Hannah - or somebody's heart at any rate - and protect her from a corruption which threatens every one of them.
For a shadow looms darkly over the family and the Bones Beneath the Soil has plans for them all.
