Beyond the Attic Door

A fractured family, a house full of secrets, and a door sealed for generations.

When Della Wickwood’s young grandson inherits a crumbling Victorian mansion from her estranged parents, the last thing she expects is to return to the town that rejected her decades ago. But with her daughters in crisis and a toddler in tow, she is desperate for a new start.

Instead she finds a house with creaking memories, logic-defying passages, and a stray cat harboring a dark secret. And at the center of it all is Della’s grandson. He’s the only one who can open the mysterious door in the attic, and it’s been waiting just for him.

As the house stirs and long-buried magic awakens, the Wickwood women must uncover the truth behind their inheritance and face their destiny - all while protecting the child at the heart of the mystery.

Beyond the Attic Door is the first magical misadventure in The Wickwood Women, a cozy fantasy series where magic hides in plain sight, family is both the biggest challenge and greatest strength, and there’s just enough snark to keep even the shadows on their toes. If you enjoy wisecracking heroines, haunted heirlooms, and a little heart with your hauntings, you’ll love Lynn M. Stout’s newest series.
