Shadows in the Moonlight

by Santa Montefiore

2024

The first Timeslider novel. Pixie Tate serves as a medium at St Sidwell Manor, where she uses her ability to travel back to 1895. There she must solve the mystery of a missing child while resisting a forbidden romance.

Series background & context

For Pixie Tate, the past is not merely a collection of memories or history books; it is a living, breathing destination that she can visit at will. While most people live strictly in the present, Pixie possesses the extraordinary and rare gift of "timesliding." This ability allows her to slip through the shimmering veil of time, leaving the modern world behind to walk the streets of bygone eras. It is a talent she has harbored since childhood—originally an escape from a difficult upbringing, but now a honed skill that serves a much higher purpose.

In her day-to-day life, Pixie operates as a unique kind of private investigator and medium. She is frequently summoned to investigate historic properties plagued by unrest—crumbling manors on the British coast or grand, opulent hotels that have lost their luster. These places are often haunted by earthbound spirits tethered to the site by unresolved trauma. Unlike traditional mediums who simply speak to the dead, Pixie solves these cold cases by traveling back to the source. Whether it is uncovering the truth behind a child who vanished in the night a century ago or revealing a dark crime hidden behind the glamour of high society, she witnesses the events as they unfold.

The series sweeps readers away to lush, impeccably researched settings that contrast sharply with the modern day. Pixie’s journeys take her from the windswept, gothic cliffs of Victorian Cornwall in 1895 to the dazzling, dangerous energy of New York City’s Gilded Age in 1912. In each era, she must navigate the rigid social hierarchies and customs of the time, blending in to gain the trust of those involved in the tragedies she seeks to prevent or understand. The atmosphere is often thick with mystery, blending elements of gothic suspense with the rich detail of historical fiction.

However, the true heart of the series lies in the emotional complications of living between two worlds. While Pixie’s mission is professional, her heart is not immune to the people she encounters. She faces the agonizing predicament of falling in love with a man who belongs to the past—a romance that defies the laws of time and logic. This forbidden connection challenges her objectivity and tempts her to stay in a world where she does not belong.

As the series progresses, Pixie is forced to grapple with impossible choices. She must weigh her duty to release the spirits of the dead against her own desperate desire for happiness. With every trip back, she risks altering the fabric of history or losing herself completely to a time long gone. The Timeslider books offer a captivating blend of supernatural mystery and sweeping romance, exploring how far one woman will go to save the souls of others, even if it means breaking her own heart.
