In the Silence of Time, volume 1 Cappleman Farm a close-knit, pastoral community occupying land between the Yorkshire villages of Glaisdale and Egton, managed for centuries by the well-respected Flesher family. Many of the tenants grew up here, roots stretching back generations. Hazel Priestly occupies the role of “healer”. Her granddaughter, Kate, is going to be “one of the great ones”, according to Hazel. What does she mean by that? Londoner Jacob Crowan has dreams that take him well beyond his father’s Ludgate Hill cobbler’s shop. Inspired by his stepmother’s clandestine business, he builds his own empire of flesh, from where he is lured into deeper, darker waters by the ruthless Edgar Foxley. Pig farmer Alexander Regan, fleeing his roots after the death of his mother, sets out to find his fortune, first in Dublin, then in England. He has a good heart. How far will he get? The Lookout an exclusive school for orphaned young ladies. Surely, it’s too good to be true. The estate occupies an idyllic setting on the Yorkshire coast. Friendships and loves are forged here, but appalling things have taken place within its walls in the past and perhaps shadows linger still. As for the girls all beautiful creatures, hand-picked what is their fate? Is all as it seems? What’s really planned for them?
