The definition of a sanctuary is 'a place of refuge'. Why would Melissa Jones ever need such a thing? She's led an ordinary life and, as far as she can recall, has never angered anyone. But an invitation to attend the funeral of an old school friend, of whom she has no recollection, and a meeting there with a woman called Danika, who is convinced Melissa's life is in danger, persuade her that she may, after all, need that sanctuary if she wants to stay alive. Overseeing the work of the sanctuary is Verity Trask. Her duty is to ensure the safety of all the women who find themselves in her care, including Melissa. It's a duty she takes very seriously as Verity understands the true nature of the threat they all face, a threat that exists because of a single, horrific event centuries ago, an event known simply as the incident at Brathy Beck.

If your life is overshadowed by an insidious, ever-present darkness, then perhaps, if you're lucky, your defences will become stronger and you'll learn how to survive the worst days.

Or to be precise, one friend - her only friend, Lucy, who came to her rescue in their school days and has been coming to her rescue ever since. But when, on one of her increasingly rarer visits, Lucy asks Mattie if she could stay with her for longer, Mattie's instincts tell her that something is wrong. And then there are Mattie's dreams. Dreams that take her to a beautiful place, to a young woman called Sarah, and to a past that may hold the answer, not only to the shadows that pursue her, but also to the real reason behind her enduring friendship with Lucy.
