Hydro
1888. John Edgeland is the heir to an industrial empire, battered by the loss of his wife and unwilling to face his new responsibilities. Fleeing to an isolated hydropathic hotel in the wilds of Yorkshire, he begins to sleepwalk, unable to trust himself or the bizarre water treatments. Who is the mysterious mutilated girl he rescues from a moor fire and brings back to the hotel to be cared for, and how is she linked to the sinister, cult-like mill town of Blackmoor?
Polly Hardacre is a chambermaid at the hotel, doing her best to keep her head down and feed her family. When she is called to take on a secret assignment, to care for a sick guest in a long-abandoned room, she sees a way to lift herself out of drudgery. But as she begins to discover herself in her new work she starts to question if she is a nursemaid or a jailer…
Hydro is a Victorian psychological thriller where the cure might just be the thing that kills you.
