Books with author Zachary Anderson

Fifteen-year-old Elsbeth Ward has just been sent by her father, the Duke of Wexington, to live in a remote castle with only two servants in tow. Why? She is not certain. But what she is certain about are the terrifying tales that surround her new home. Are they merely tales, or does something lurk in the woods outside of Blackford Castle? Perhaps the handsome Count Declan will shed light on the situation… or is there someone else that will illuminate the impending darkness? Follow Elsbeth on her journey from princess to stable urchin, as she discovers the truth behind the mysterious residents of the isolated town of Bhearaugh.
