'Barkworth is excruciatingly good' Observer These waters became wild centuries before this university was dreamed of. Heysham has always been a dangerous place for women . . . Serena arrives on campus reeling from the injury that destroyed her champion swimming career. She is lost until she meets Jane, an enigmatic tutor obsessed with the historic witch trials that took place in Heysham's freezing waters. When several young women are assaulted, the university's shadowy legacy becomes inescapable. Those in power turn a blind eye, but Jane urges Serena and her friends to rise up. As their anger builds into an inferno of female rage, Serena takes matters into her own hands. Heysham has reawakened something within her, a dark, impossible power. In the waters, she can see what must be done - and the sacrifice it will demand. From the author of Heatstroke, an intoxicatingly atmospheric new novel about influence, obsession and betrayal - for readers of The Things We Do to Our Friends, Weyward and Promising Young Woman.
