But they know nothing of the Stone's dark history.

Fifteen year old Vanessa becomes increasingly obsessed by the stone’s deep magic.

Especially when she finds a hundred-year-old diary from the previous owner of the house, a young woman called Clarissa Henry who became similarly enthralled by the object.

Vanessa decides to seek out local antique dealer Adam Sandys for more information.

He reveals that Clarissa was sentenced for murder but was eventually pronounced insane...

Will Vanessa be getting more than she bargained for?

She finds herself losing part of her own memory, as she becomes more and more involved with Clarissa’s story.

When blood is found on the stone Vanessa is forced to confront its brutal past…

What involvement did the stone have in the murder Clarissa was charged for?

Could it now be affecting Vanessa?

And will it be used to claim another victim….?
