You'd recognise my mother's name if I told it to you. You'd wonder, briefly, where is she now? And didn't she have a daughter while she was missing?
And whatever happened to the little girl?
Helena's home is now like anyone else's, with a husband and two daughters and a job she enjoys. But no one knows the truth about her childhood.
Brought up in a cabin in the wilderness until she was twelve, Helena's father kept her and her mother isolated and unable to leave their marshland home, until the fateful day Helena escaped and her father faced justice.
Now years later and with news that he has escaped from prison, Helena instinctively knows that her father is coming for her and if she is to keep her family safe, she must once again return to the marsh, to confront him in the wilderness and become the Marsh King's daughter once again.
An unforgettable and emotional read-in-one-sitting story packed with gripping suspense.
