It is Christmas time and Maisie Llewelyn is invited as a guest to Wolverden Hall. She does not know anybody there but she quickly befriends two girls. She meets them in the nearby church whose tower was recently rebuilt. It is strange and a bit suspicious that none of the other guests know the two girls but Maisie decides to trust them. After Christmas the three friends decide to climb the new church tower. Maisie is however unaware of the danger that lurks behind her back. What will happen and how will this friendship end up? Who are those girls and what do they want from Maisie? "Wolverden Tower" holds the answers.

Grant Allen was a Canadian writer who lived in the period 1848 – 1899. His writing career began around 1876 when he published a series of essays on science. His first books, "Physiological Aesthetics" and "Flowers and Their Pedigrees" took up this subject as well. Grant Allen was also a pioneer in science fiction. He wrote about thirty science fiction novels in the period 1884-1899. In his later works, Allen also took up some revolutionary theories for the time regarding marriage. "The Woman Who Did" which depicts the life of an independent woman who takes care of her child on her own became a bestseller.
