Books with title The Hidden Room

Be careful what you wish for. Winnie’s arrival from boarding school to sunny Sydney was as far from an uplifting homecoming than she could imagine. She’s the last Keeper of the Crone’s poisonous Stone and must hide the witch-demon’s stolen possession before it’s too late. Exposed and vulnerable, Winnie’s enemy is poised to break free, her followers swarming on the hunt. Legend forecasts the final chapter nears, heralding the Stone’s triumphant return and the obliteration of the feeble, ailing Trinity who’ve stood in their way for a thousand years. But allies exist in the most unexpected places. For the first time in millennia, the Sacred Trinity are recruiting. Satan’s mistress is coming to take back what’s hers and just maybe, Winnie and her friends will be ready. This is no fairy tale.

Excerpt from The Hidden HandHurricane Hall is a large old family mansion, built of dark, red sandstone, in one of the loneliest and wildest of the mountain regions of Virginia.The estate is surrounded on three sides by a range of steep, gray rocks, spiked with clumps of dark evergreens, and called, from its horseshoe form, the Devil's Hoof.On the fourth side the ground gradually descends in broken rock and barren soil to the edge of the wild mountain stream known as the Devil's Run.When storms and floods were high, the loud roaring of the wild mountain gorges, and the terrific raging of the torrent over its rocky course, gave to this savage locality its ill-omened names of Devil's Hoof, Devil's Run and Hurricane Hall.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Almost broken-hearted, Traverse returned to Willow Heights to convey the sad tidings of his disappointment to his mother's ear. Marah Rocke was so overwhelmed with grief at the news, that she was for several hours incapable of action. The arrival of the house-agent was the first event that recalled her to her senses. She aroused herself to action, and, assisted by Traverse, set to work to pack up her own and his wardrobe, and other personal effects. And the next morning Marah Rocke was re-established in her cottage. And the next week, having equally divided their little capital, the mother and son parted--Traverse, by her express desire, keeping to his original plan, set out for the Far West. CHAPTER XXXIH. OLD HURRICANE STORMS. At this sir knight flamed up with ire! His great chest heaved! his eyes flashed fire, The crimson that suffused his face To deepest purple now gave place. Who can describe the frenzy of Old Hurricane upon discovering the fraud that had been practised upon him by Black Donald? It was told him the next morning in his tent, at his breakfast table, in the presence of his assembled family, by the Rev. Mr. Goodwin.
