Plague is creeping up on the medieval town of Aurillac. Two witches call upon the powers of Hecate, Queen of the Night, in an attempt to avert disaster; but she calls for the blood sacrifice of two children. Saved by a miracle, the children are nevertheless cursed by the witch-queen for eternity.

Mike Jefferies was brought up on a cattle station in Australia, worked his way through art school in London, sleeping rough for lack of a grant. After gaining his degree he worked in commercial art for a while, then carved rocking horses but became bored and learned to ride. He was later selected for the British 3-Day Event Team. Despite his dyslexia, he has now written ten novels.
“I CAN WEAVE THE POWER OF THE FIRE AND WATER AROUND YOUR BABIES: THEY WILL BECOME CHILDREN OF THE FLAME”
Entwined in the coils of a curse that reaches back through the centuries, Joel – a student, and Amy, a gallery work – must seek to discover the truth behind the mystery that has brought the two of them together. Born thousands of miles apart they both sense a powerful link to each other and to other and to other and to other lives. And both are haunted by the apparition of two shadowy figures and a huge, three headed hound.
In the mists of time, the secret lies hidden, to be glimpsed for a moment each time they die and are reborn; but time is running out and the puzzle must be solved before the wraiths claim their souls.
Magic, witchcraft and an ancient curse: a powerful and exciting new novel from a classic storyteller!
