The Stone
By Anthea Fraser
When the Prior family move to the Chiltern village of Ickfield, they come across an old, worn Druid stone, a megalith standing on a hilltop, deep in the twisting paths behind their new home. But they know nothing of the Stone’s dark history. Fifteen year old Vanessa becomes increasingly obsessed by the stone’s deep magic. Especially when she finds a hundred-year-old diary from the previous owner of the house, a young woman called Clarissa Henry who became similarly enthralled by the object. It is revealed that Clarissa was sentenced for murder but was eventually pronounced insane… Will Vanessa be getting more than she bargained for? She finds herself losing part of her own memory, as she becomes more and more involved with Clarissa’s story. When blood is found on the stone Vanessa is forced to confront its brutal past…
