It is 1944. It seems the war will never end.
When Lizzy and her brother and sister are evacuated to the village of
Inglestone, they find their new home strange. Under the shadow of the ruined
Inglestone Manor, they meet Dorothy Inglestone, the last of her line, and the
ever-watchful Mr and Mrs Gains.
When they are told of a treasure hidden in a
ruin manor, they can’t resist trying to find it. In their hunt, they come
across a strange boy roaming the ruins. Not only is he wanted by the police,
but he is also wanted by the Gains.
Can the Allens keep a secret and not betray
the boy? Before long, their loyalties will be tested.
