About Dyrne Hill
William hasn't been at the orphanage for long before strange events begin to unfold. When a series of mysterious incidents leads to catastrophic consequences, he vanishes without a trace.
Determined to uncover the truth, James and his friend Penny begin investigating a century-old mystery. What really happened to William? Did he simply run away, or could there be some truth behind the unsettling tales of pagan rituals and ghostly happenings at Dyrne Hill?
Blending mystery, history and the supernatural, Dyrne Hill is a gripping adventure that will keep readers guessing until the very last page.
