From bestselling author Paul Rowney comes Ancient Hallways, the enthralling sequel to The Crown Post. It’s 1666, and the residents of the old house are about to endure two centuries of extraordinary trials and triumphs. From murder and kidnapping to love and betrayal, their lives are shaped by events both intimate and world-changing.

Step inside this remarkable home as its inhabitants become enmeshed in a plot to assassinate King James II, search for the lost relics of St. Edmunds, rescue a kidnapped woman, and confront a centuries-old curse said to afflict every newborn in the house.

Along the way, they face an array of dramatic moments—an auction of the owner’s wife, sabotage on the newly built railway, the murder of two occupants, and the return of a wounded soldier who finds unexpected love within its ancient walls.

Blending true historical detail with real and fictional people, Ancient Hallways traces the remarkable journey of the house and its occupants who called it home across two hundred turbulent years.

Inspired by a real house in Bury St. Edmunds, England—where the author himself once lived—this spellbinding novel is a must-read for historical fiction lovers. Dive back into the drama, and mystery, that made The Crown Post a best seller. And enjoy this captivating sequel.
