What begins as a nostalgic tale of a coastal summer and shy first love slowly unravels into something darker: a story of memory erasure, hereditary curses and the dangerous inheritance of supernatural power.
Finn and Mia know nothing of the mysterious force that binds them. But as the years pass, their connection refuses to disappear. Drawn together again and again, they find themselves caught in an arcane bond that defies reason and threatens their lives.
Haunted by secrets buried in the past, Finn must confront a terrifying question: how do you move forward when the past and those you love refuse to let you go?
As his extraordinary abilities begin to awaken, Finn discovers that the forces around him are no accident. Something has been inherited. Something has been waiting.
Spanning the formative years of Finn's life from childhood into his late twenties, Echoes of the Arcane centres on pivotal moments in 1976, 1982 and 1986, before a final passage carries Finn towards the events that will unfold when he turns thirty.
It is the origin story of Finn Milton, charting his journey from innocence to experience, love to loss, and the devastating awakening of powers beyond his control.
Set against the atmospheric backdrop of coastal Cornwall, Echoes of the Arcane, Book One of The Granite Shore, is a dark coming-of-age fantasy woven with paranormal mystery, emotional suspense, forbidden romance and ancient magic.
As Finn and Mia are separated once more, Finn returns to London, carrying the consequences of everything that has happened to him. The story leaves him on the threshold of adulthood and on the path towards Curse of the Arcane.

Set against the storm-lashed shores of Cornwall, Curse of the Arcane is a dark supernatural romance of fractured memory, psychic mystery and generational magic.
Finn has spent his life trying to understand the strange forces surrounding him. But as his thirtieth birthday approaches, he faces the curse that has haunted his relationship with Mia: every ten years, she forgets him.
Yet something remains.
Although Mia's conscious memories disappear, her soul remembers Finn. Drawn towards a man she cannot explain and a love she cannot name, she begins to experience fragments of a life that her mind insists never happened.
As Finn struggles to hold on to his identity, telekinetic powers, astral visions and an ancient legacy of wrongdoing pull him deeper into a world that exists beyond ordinary reality.
Then Bronagh uncovers a hidden truth buried within her own family history.
Descended from a bloodline connected to dark magic and spiritual manipulation, Bronagh discovers that Finn and Mia's curse may be part of something far older and far more dangerous than either of them understands.
With the help of a spectral messenger, the three are drawn into a search for a lost talisman that could finally break the cycle.
But breaking the curse means confronting the crimes of the past.
And the darkness protecting them will not surrender easily.
Set between London, Sussex and the rugged Cornish coastline in 1996, Curse of the Arcane combines supernatural suspense, an impossible love story, mystical fantasy and family secrets in the second novel of The Granite Shore Saga.
A story of love, memory, identity and redemption, featuring psychic abilities, astral projection, shapeshifting entities, spectral messengers and the struggle between darkness and light.

“An exciting read from start to finish! Even if you have never been to Cornwall, you will feel like you are there. The imagery is stunning. You will want to visit St Ives to find out if September Cottage really exists. I was hooked from the beginning, and the characters became people I wanted to know. I could not put the book down, and the ending was exhilarating. What an amazing imagination the author has.”
