A sensuous tale to disturb and thrill!An out-of-this-world quest with a sting in its tail by Cornish author Fi Routledge
Who can know what any given day can bring?
How can one day affect the ten years which follow it, for that matter?
How would you deal with such an ill-fated curveball?
In the hot summer of 1976, a boy and a girl meet on their 10th birthday. From the moment they touch, Francis and Mia are connected by a dark and mystical force. But they know nothing about what truly connects them or how far back the magic goes. It is an enigma. The consequences of their bond tear their lives apart without a shred of reason, and the fallout impacts them for years to come.
He wanted to push back against her venom, but an invisible force held him in place. The crashing waves grew louder behind them, matching the storm brewing inside him. Bronagh’s mocking stare tore into him. "The die has been cast on you, Francis Milton, Arcane Outsider."
What begins as a nostalgic tale of seaside summers and shy first love quickly unravels into something darker: a story of memory erasure, hereditary curses, and the dangerous inheritance of supernatural power. The narrative examines grief, family bonds, youthful love, and the price of supernatural legacy, set against the vivid backdrop of coastal Cornwall.
Ideal for fans of dark coming-of-age fantasy and atmospheric romance, this story plunges into the messy, magical journey from innocence to experience, questioning: How do you move forward when the past - and those you love - refuse to let you go?
