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.

About the author

Chris Dewar grew up in Surrey as part of a large, close-knit family, spending her days exploring on her bike, building camps and inventing stories filled with mystery, adventure and ghosts for her siblings and cousins.

After travelling and later settling in Berkshire with her husband and three children, Chris was inspired by her children's love of reading to write the Dyrne Hill series, bringing to life the kind of exciting stories she loved to imagine as a child.
