When a boy mysteriously disappears in the English countryside, his troubled psychiatrist sets out to find him, travelling through mist-shrouded towns and villages where forgotten myths are awakening, and creatures once confined to folklore stir. Along the way, she discovers her own supernatural powers – and the boy’s unexpected bond with mythical creatures – marking the beginning of his transformation.

A psychiatrist, Doctor Eha Hunt, struggling with her own sanity, finds herself treating the ghosts who appear before her. At the same time, a concerned father brings his son Tommy to her – a boy whose unsettling paintings hint at something darker. When Tommy suddenly disappears, Eha is thrust into a dangerous journey through the Cotswolds, determined to uncover the truth behind Tommy’s vanishing and its connection to the local legends.

Undeterred by her fears and uncertainties, Eha explores the Cotswolds’ underworld of ghostly inhabitants, convinced that one of them has abducted Tommy. The giant phantom bells tolling at Broadway Tower, a skeletal dinosaur spirit haunting the hills of Chipping Norton, a lost fortress wandering in Castle Combe, an ancient dragon guarding the gates of the Vice Versa underworld at Malmesbury Abbey, and a shapeshifting water demon lurking in the water terraces of Blenheim Palace, driven by its insatiable thirst for merciless vengeance… These are just some of the fantastic, thrilling secrets that Eha discovers in the ancient land of the Cotswolds while restlessly searching for Tommy.

Cotswold Mist is the first book of a future series that will explore not only England’s most remarkable historical regions but the whole of the British Isles, connecting unforgettable characters with regional mythology and history, spinning the threads of Cotswold lore into a larger Misty Universe.

"A new book shows some of our best-known Cotswold locations as you’ve never seen them before."

"The best digital artists from around the world have combined their talents to create one of my favourite art book projects of 2025, Cotswold Mist."
