Disgraced defence lawyer Harry Redwood doesn't believe in magic, but when he arrives in the charming and sleepy little town of Bishops Pippleton, it's clear that the residents do. There's a curse upon Dark House, they say, and the Dark sisters all have otherworldly Gifts, but it's also the only place that has rooms available in the dead of winter and so Harry has no choice but to go there to stay.As he settles in to try and mend the broken pieces of his life, he uncovers a grave wrong in the town, one that has been left to fester for more than six centuries, and Harry just won't stand for it, not when it affects the sisters Dark, whom he has come to form a deep affection for.He might not believe in magic and he may not have special Gifts, but there's one thing Harry Redwood does know better than almost anyone around him, and that's his way around a courtroom.
