It's 1976, and hippie student Colin and his new girlfriend, Kate, begin their life together during that heatwave summer. But something - or someone - intrudes into Colin's mind and won't go away. It leads them to unwind an extraordinary tale, taking them back to events some 500 years ago, to Jusuf, Rodrigo and Gwenna.
Who are they, though, and what is their link with Colin and Kate? And what's the sinister mystery at the heart of their story that threatens the very existence of Colin and Kate's own world?
A fresh and original time-slip novel of romance, revenge, religion, and redemption, where twentieth-century England's North West and fifteenth-century Cornwall are unforgettably evoked with colour, richness and wit. If you like beautifully engrossing tales of mystery and intrigue, you will love The Forebear's Candle.
