“I know you are the one. The valley awoke when you arrived, and you were shown things, special things… there’s a connection, a link, between us. I know you are the one I’ve been waiting for.”
On a family visit to the Derwent Valley in Derbyshire, Eleanor's world changes forever. Her senses assaulted by countless explosions, she experiences the horror of a battlefield; standing high on the valley side, she sees the village from nearly a century before it was drowned by the waters of the lake.
Who is the ghost-like figure she sees amongst the trees? And the old woman who gives her the ancient diary?
What is the connection that binds Eleanor, a child of the 21st century and Cam, a soldier from the First World War?
Across decades of time, Eleanor and Cam find their lives intertwined in a quest to unlock the events of the past.
Set at the turn of the new century and in a time before that, Silent Valley is a story about love and endings, survival and the horror of war.
