Sin embargo, en la antigua habitación de Naomí comienzan a producirse hechos inquietantes, al tiempo que los moradores de la casa tienen sueños extraños, perciben presencias hostiles y respiran una atmósfera cada vez más enrarecida.

The silence of ghosts
"Dominic Lancaster hoped to prove himself to his family by excelling in the Navy during World War II. Instead he is wounded while serving as a gunner and loses his leg. Still recovering from his wounds and the trauma of his amputation when the Blitz begins, Dominic finds himself shuffled off to the countryside by his family, along with his partially deaf sister, Octavia. The crumbling family estate on the shores of Ullswater is an old, much-neglected place that doesn't seem to promise much in the way of happiness or recovery. Something more than a friendship begins to flourish between Dominic and his nurse, Rose, in the late autumn of that English countryside, as he struggles to come to terms with his new life as an amputee. Another thing that seems to be flourishing is Octavia's hearing. As winter descends, sinister forces seem to be materializing around Octavia, who is hearing voices of children. After seeing things that no one else can see and hearing things that no one else can hear, Octavia is afflicted with a sickness that cannot be explained. With Rose's help, Dominic sets out to find the truth behind the voices that have haunted his sister. In doing so, he uncovers an even older, darker evil that threatens not only Octavia, but Rose and himself.

A shadow on the wall
"Edward Atherton, Rector of Thornham St. Stephen, should never have meddled with the fourteenth-century tomb of the Abbot of Thornham--not even in the interests of restoration. But he did. And something has followed him unseen into this world. A malign, shadowy presence now stalks the rector, who fears for his life, even behind locked doors."--Jacket.
