The Girl in the Stone Circle — Karen Hayes

THE GIRL IN THE STONE CIRCLE is Karen Hayes' latest novel.

In an isolated village in Cornwall, strangled by the legends of Bodmin moor, a small community struggle to come to terms with the tragic events that happened in their midst over forty years ago.

A seventeen year old girl, Lizzie, mysteriously disappeared, and some villagers whisper her spirit has been haunting the moors ever since.

When a new vicar, Emma, arrives in the village she begins to challenge these beliefs, questioning the superstitions and belittling the power of the moors.
Until a stranger arrives in town: a man of unknown origin, a man whose only gods are those of the moors. And suddenly Emma's not so sure.

The two are thrown together, amidst the chaotic but secretive lives of the locals. And as the events of the past, as well as mounting trouble in the village, begin tightening around them, so does the danger.
