Can she uncover the truth… before it buries her?

Eden Gray, a disillusioned lawyer, leaves the city behind to start her own law firm in her beloved Cornwall. However, her plans for a fresh start are derailed when she is coerced into defending Rowan Lutey, a teenage surrogate accused of burying a baby in an ancient 'witch pit.'

As archaeologists uncover the site's dark past, the Lutey family is thrust into the spotlight, facing a relentless media frenzy and personal attacks fueled by fear and superstition. Eden, abandoned as an infant herself, must confront her own buried feelings about her birth mother as she delves deeper into the case.

As she risks her life to unravel the mystery and protect others from a manipulative and deranged killer, she discovers the truth about her client, her own abandonment, and an inner strength she never imagined she possessed.

In The Bitter Fruit Beneath, Julie Evans weaves a tale of secrets, strength, and redemption for fans of the series and newcomers alike.
