Book One

The Inheritance

M. P. Ginvert

Tom Hartley doesn’t have a grandfather.

Then a letter arrives to say that he did, and that the old man has left him a farm in France, a gold watch engraved with a date nobody can explain, and a hill.

Under the ivy on that hill is a pair of steel doors, welded shut on the night of 31 August 1944.

And Tom is the only one who knows they are there.

Book One of The Inheritance Trilogy. Book Two is on the way.
