Rebecca Alexander Synopses: Secrets of the Cottage by the Sea is the first Island Cottage novel from novelist Rebecca Alexander. Ellie Roberts is taken aback when she inherits a cottage on a remote Scilly Isle from a person she has never heard of, Patience Ellis. Perplexed by this unexpected legacy, Ellie travels to the isolated island in search of answers.

Upon arriving, Ellie is greeted by the strong winds and salt spray from the boat. She embarks on a search for Patience’s whitewashed cottage, hidden behind overgrown ivy. Upon entering the cottage, Ellie experiences a sense of déjà vu and recalls laughing with her mother in the window seat as a child. However, Ellie’s mother passed away when she was young.

Determined to uncover the truth, Ellie seeks the help of Branok Shore, a local with a mysterious past on the island. Despite his initial indifference, Branok becomes interested in Ellie’s story and offers to help her unravel the mystery. As they grow closer, Ellie realizes she must understand her own past before moving forward. Branok uncovers a collection of letters from the Second World War, hidden in Patience’s dresser, which reveal a shocking secret that Patience was forced to keep hidden.

The letters tell the story of a terrible storm during the war, and of a soldier who begged for Patience’s help and forced her to make an impossible decision. Although the letters reveal an intriguing piece of history, they fail to answer Ellie’s burning questions. Why did Patience leave her home to Ellie, and how does Ellie have memories of the cottage when she has never been there before?

Ellie embarks on a journey to uncover the truth, but the answers she uncovers may shatter her world. Will she be able to piece together the fragments of her life and find the strength to move forward?

The Secrets of Life and Death by Rebecca Alexander is the first book in the Jackdaw Hammond series. Professor Felix Guichard is an expert in occult symbols and is called upon to identify markings found on the body of a deceased young girl in modern-day England. His investigation leads him to a mysterious woman named Jackdaw Hammond, who has a shocking secret – she is technically dead, kept alive by magic.

However, their discovery attracts the attention of an ancient and powerful entity who is determined to take the magic that keeps Jackdaw alive. As Felix and Jackdaw race to uncover the identity of this entity, they realize that the answers lie in the ancient diary of Dr. John Dee’s assistant, Edward Kelley, who lived in Krakow in 1585.

At that time, Dee and Kelley were summoned to Poland to help save the life of Countess Elisabeth Bathory, a relative of the king who was plagued by a mysterious ailment. But as Dee and Kelley delve deeper into the Countess’s condition, they realize that the magic that could save her may be even more dangerous than the illness itself.

As Felix and Jackdaw piece together the centuries-old mystery, they must confront powerful supernatural forces that threaten to destroy them. Their only hope is to find a way to defeat the entity and keep the magic that keeps Jackdaw alive safe.
