About this item
Moving to my stepfathers English country mansion sounded so promising. But the Arnaud Manor is neglected and unwelcoming, and I get the feeling it isnt exactly uninhabited. Something wants to hurt us--especially my little sister, Tabby. Okay, so I might be a little sensitive lately. My parents act oblivious to me, my old life is far away in San Francisco, and the gorgeous guy I just met tells me terrible stories about the infamous Madame Arnaud who lived here long ago, and about missing children and vengeful spirits. The kind of stories that are impossible to believe--until youre living in one of them, fighting to protect everyone you love...
About the Author
So many Y.A. books were meaningful to me as a teen, it feels great to be writing books for that age group myself. I hope my interest in dark, macabre, historically-based fiction will appeal just as much as Lois Duncan's books did to me. Book One of the Arnaud Legacy, Haunted, is narrated by Phoebe, an American who moves to England and learns her abandoned ancestral manor may still be inhabited. Book Two, Betrayed, is from the point of view of Miles, the English friend she meets. Together with a third friend Eleanor, they travel to France to try to figure out the disturbing truth behind the Arnaud Manor's background. Book Three, Avenged, comes out in 2017.
