Evie has come home to Orkney and finally found peace. She has rediscovered her passion for painting, mended broken friendships, and for the first time in a long time, truly feels a sense of belonging. But then a surprise visitor arrives. Mysterious Amelia McLean claims to be Evie’s long lost-relative. She looks strangely familiar, her stories seem plausible and she quickly slides into island life. Yet Evie soon starts to feel unsettled and suspicious – and with her hard-won happiness slipping through her fingers, she knows she must uncover Amelia’s secret, before it’s too late… Escape to wild and beautiful Orkney once more, where secrets never stay hidden for long!
