Dory is on holiday on the moors with her family when she stumbles across a Victorian walkers’ ‘letterbox’ and a faded message for a boy called Eli.
The message opens a slip in time and soon Dory is battling alongside gorgeous Eli to help save his sister from her cruel father. But is there more to Eli – and his gift of a Victorian heart pendant – than meets the eye? A spine-tingling mystery combines with elements of the supernatural in this thrilling title with illustrations by the author.
