In the depths of World War II, a captivating mystery unfolds as a Londoner, Ruth Gladstone, flees the bustling city to seek solace in the tranquil countryside of Martynsborough. Nestled in a quaint English village with a mysterious past, Ruth hopes to escape the pressures of her life and embark on the journey of writing her first novel. However, her peaceful retreat is soon disrupted by the haunting presence of a ghostly wraith that has lain dormant for decades. The villagers, initially skeptical of the newcomers, attribute the eerie sightings to the evacuees, including Ruth. Undeterred, Ruth teams up with an injured soldier, Malcolm, to unravel the mystery that plagues the village. As they delve deeper into the shadows, they uncover long-buried secrets that threaten to engulf them. Amidst the perilous quest for truth, Ruth and Malcolm find solace in their forbidden love story, a delicate balance between love and danger. Their journey takes them through the labyrinthine streets of London, the serene landscapes of Martynsborough, and the emotional depths of their own hearts. Through bravery, resilience, and a shared passion for literature, Ruth and Malcolm uncover the truth behind the wraith and embrace the power of love in a world torn apart by war.
