Description
A suspenseful teen fantasy about young love, dark mystery and magic.
16-year-old orphan Tom Swinton is not looking forward to spending the summer at his boarding school. So when he receives a strange message from his uncle James, inviting him to visit his Suffolk farm, he jumps at the chance.
However, Tom quickly realises that something is menacing Mundham Farm. But does it come from outside, or within? The mystery deepens when Tom finds old diaries describing a romance with a member of a supernatural race known as the Samdhya.
As the secrets of the farm begin to unravel, pressure mounts, and Tom finds his loyalties under threat. On one hand, he is offered infinite power. On the other, his freedom. Which will he choose?
Tom must now face up to his parents’ deaths, and
expose the truth about his uncle, and his relationship
with the Samdhya. Who are these extraordinary
creatures, and what has his uncle kept hidden for so
long?
