By Stephen Lloyd Jones
A jumble of entries, written in several fingers, diversified languages, and diverse instances. They inform of a hearsay. A shadow. A killer.
The merely curiosity that Oxford Professor Charles Meredith has within the diaries is as a list of Hungarian folklore ... until eventually he comes head to head with a myth.
For Hannah Wilde, the diaries are a survival consultant that taught her the 3 principles she lives through: make certain everybody, belief not anyone, and if in any doubt, run.
But Hannah is aware that if her daughter is ever going to be secure, she's going to need to cease operating and face the fear that has hunted her family members for 5 generations.
And not anything within the diaries can organize her for that.
