Snowdrops in the Window (Snowdrops Trilogy Book 1)

Every now and then, when the stars align correctly putting the right people on the same path, then it is their destiny, that can bring hope; even to places where previously all hope had been lost. The alignment of these stars can often be decades in the making, split second events determining if the endeavours of those chosen will succeed or fail.Snouts Gap workhouse in Cannock in Staffordshire had long been a place of misery. A place where desperate people found themselves abandoned and forgotten, often preyed upon by the very people supposed to be looking after them. To make matters even worse there is something evil living in the growing market town of Cannock. Something that had been there for a long time, feeding off the innocent, terrorising the local people, making them afraid to go into the woods.

Instead he is taken to the troubled town of Cannock, where the fight against evil will begin in the year 1868. Read more
