About this ebook

A woman fated to die. A missing mother. A son’s search for the truth.

Welcome to a place with a dark history, an island in the Celtic Sea where not everything is as it seems. Welcome to Lansin Island.

Popular with Pagans for its larger-than-life celebrations of the seasonal Sabbats, Lansin Island is rife with witchy history. But with Halloween just around the corner, it’s harder than ever to tell fact from fiction.

Nicolas Crystan, an ordinary young guy trying to find his way in the world, has lived on the island his whole life. Apart from his mother’s unexplained disappearance, he’s never witnessed anything like the strange stories he’s grown up hearing about—until the day he's struck by a disturbing vision of a woman's death.

When he uses the premonition to save Juliet Maystone from a grisly fate, their lives become linked—and forever altered. Before long, a cryptic message about Nick’s missing mother plunges Nick and Juliet into a world of ghosts, mediums, immortals and murder.

Ratings and reviews

It started out & easily pulled me in & how the characters dealt with their new "gifts." It was a very interesting and page turning supernatural novel. However half way through the book the author introduced the "antagonist." But it honestly felt like just a rushed afterthought and that he was put there to create some kind of adversary for the 2 main characters. I felt that it was very poorly executed. I hated Juliet by the end of the book. She was a stuck up, self righteous snob. Nick could do much better!

Not a complete book. The author states she left some story lines open and plans to leave story lines open in future books. It would be more accurate to say she didn't close ANY story lines. This is an obvious attempt to coerce readers into buying more and more books. A better author would rely on the quality of their books for future sales, instead of relying on you to buy future books to get any closures to any story line whatsoever. you at least some type of closure.

Very well written for such a young author. I enjoyed very much though it looks like there's something missing...maybe it's because it's a series so the loose ends may be tied up ahead. Way to go!
