ALL EVIL HAS A BEGINNING... THIS IS HOW SMYTHE BECAME SMYTHE...

Many years before the horrific events at Styre House, a young girl named Lydia Smith discovers a mysterious set of books filled with dark powers. As she begins to learn the secrets of these books, however, she inadvertently unleashes powers beyond her wildest imagination, powers that shatter the barrier between life and death.

Trapped in a life of misery, Lydia has never thought much about the outside world. All she does every day is care for her sick mother and try to avoid her cruel, bitter father. Her new powers offer a way out, but first Lydia must learn to control the forces she has begun to summon. Fortunately she has help from a set of reanimated bones that rise from the garden, but can anything truly prepare Lydia for the terror that awaits?

And how does she end up as the bitter, monstrous creature that years later will rise from the dirt of Styre House?

The Curse of Bloodacre Farm is the second book in a trilogy about a remote, abandoned English cottage that still bears the scars of its terrifying past, and about an evil creature that lurks in the shadows and waits for its chance to pounce. This book ends on a cliffhanger.
