A Light at the End of the Woods by Carrie Brownell

How much risk should a person take to protect someone who has been dead for centuries? Siblings Alice and Henry are about to find out when they head to the country with their parents for a summer holiday. The cottage the family rents near the childhood home of Lady Jane Grey is nothing like their house in Oxford, not least because it appears to harbour a maze of secrets. Alice, Henry, and their parents are determined to unravel the puzzles that have been placed in their path. But when an old woman with a mysterious past begins haunting the family's every move, they have second thoughts about continuing their holiday.

This family adventure about resilience, courage, and duty in the face of adversity brings past and present together in a swirl of intrigue. The children and their parents are running out of time to make a decision that could have far-reaching effects. And someone is determined to stop the family at all costs.
