'Tell Lissa I'm sorry. We did it for the best. May God forgive us.' When Lissa Byrne's grandfather suffers a fatal accident, his dying words reveal a man tortured by guilt and regret. Her cousin's arrival is a further shock. Kit Pevensey, her first love and once her closest friend, has been gone for five years; but days before their grandfather died, he warned Kit that Lissa is in danger. As Lissa and Kit struggle to unearth the secrets of their troubled family, it soon becomes clear that time is against them - for the past can do worse than haunt your dreams and betray your most treasured memories. The past can kill. Written as a stand-alone thriller, 'Echo of Bells' became the origin story for Jill Todd's 2025 thriller, 'Avalon Sky'. This release of 'Echo of Bells' is a revised second edition.
