Twelve-year-old Anny Bradford is stunned when she inherits Blackhurst Manor in England. She, her twin sister Scout, and their family travel there from California only to discover the enormous mansion in ruins. Why would Grampa have left her this wreck? And Great-aunt Beatrice, who supposedly lives in the manor, has vanished without a trace.
When a strange teenaged boy and a man in a dark-green sedan follow her and her family from one place to another as they tour the ancient city of Lincoln, it creeps her out. And who are the Roman soldiers roaming Lincoln Castle grounds? Are they park characters or something more sinister?
Anny is different from other kids. She can see ghosts. She knows someone—or something—clearly doesn’t want her and her family near Blackhurst Manor, and she is determined to find out why.
Go with Anny as she follows the clues to solve this mystery.
