This time she could lose everything and everyone, as her dreams turn to nightmares in a deadly battle of will and magic. As Stephanie and her companions face their darkest hour yet, new allies and unwelcome faces from the past all have a part to play. Stephanie must say goodbye to dear friends as her new life starts to crumble around her. She is forced to turn to a man whom she has come to despise. Only he can help her to unlock the answers that she seeks, or it could be the end for Marlin and everyone she loves. PLEASE NOTE: This is Book 4 of an ongoing series. As such, certain sections (such as that contained in the sample) may include spoilers for those that have not already read the others.
Book 1, "Mother of Marlin," Book 2: "Children of Marlin." and Book 3, "Whispers of Marlin" are available on Amazon. Also available to accompany the series are two novellas, "Out of Marlin," and "East of Marlin" plus a compilation. "The Marlin Chronicles" is a unique series of exciting books by Alyson Mountjoy, created by using events from her own life (including many unsettling brushes with the paranormal), and entwining them with research then embroidering them with a thread of artistic licence. This ongoing series provides an appealing combination of supernatural suspense mixed with mystery, horror, crime and romance, historical facts, tears and laughter, magic and a touch of fantasy. These tales have waited a long time to be told. The village of Marlin at the edge of the rugged Cornish coastline exists only in her imagination, as do several other locations used in the books, and the characters in the series are fictional; yet the books are all influenced by the places that she has visited and the combined characteristics of the many interesting people that she has met.
