Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 It had taken Nell nearly an hour to dig through decades of leaf litter to expose the gates. She wouldn’t have known they were there if not for the Edwardian map depicting the area as it was 400 years ago. #2 Nell had a good day at the meadow, and she was excited to show Adam the tunnel was suitable for hibernating bats. She took a selfie by the gate. Then she texted Adam: Crawled through about 20 hedges today. Plus, badger sett right in the brambles. #3 Nell, a archeologist, was exploring a cave when she heard a noise. She froze. It wasn’t just a response to the deep-in-the-bones coldness. Or the dark. Or being alone. She was used to all that.
