This atmospheric horror story takes place just after Mother of Marlin, Book 1 of The Marlin Chronicles. It's a stand-alone tale which accompanies The Marlin Chronicles series and although it adds to that series, it can just as easily be enjoyed on its own. (The main story continues in Children of Marlin, Book 2 of The Marlin Chronicles).In this story, Stephanie and her faithful friend Jan take a relaxing trip to recover from the events of the past few months. They find themselves in a pretty Welsh village nestling in a lush, green valley; the perfect place to unwind. But soon they discover that even the most innocent-looking places can harbour sinister secrets. A change can be as good as a rest, but there can be no rest when someone needs their help. Soon, their weekend break turns into a fight for survival.

Alyson Mountjoy returns to her Welsh roots in this story, combining her memories and paranormal experiences with fiction, history, folklore and her love of all things Welsh. Above all, it is a tale of friendship.
