When Lena and Dan win the keys to a multi-million-pound countryside estate through an online competition, it feels too good to be true—and maybe it is. Trading in their cramped London flat for open skies and quiet lanes, the couple hope to rebuild their future far from the stress of the city. But the house carries its own past, and the silence of the rural village begins to hum with unease.

As Lena settles in, unsettling details emerge: mysterious emails, missing belongings, and locals who know more than they say. When oddities turn to threats and the line between paranoia and reality blurs, Lena begins to wonder whether the prize they claimed ever truly belonged to them at all.

This Deed Is Ours is a dark, atmospheric psychological thriller about what lurks behind closed doors—and how the most idyllic places can become prisons. Gripping, layered, and unsettling, this debut novel explores love, possession, and the quiet unraveling of a perfect life.
