In the scorching summer of 1976, on the wild coast of Cornwall, two children meet on their tenth birthday and awaken a connection neither of them can explain. From the moment they touch, Finn and Mia are connected by a dark and mystical force.

What begins as an innocent friendship and shy first love slowly unravels into something far more dangerous: hereditary curses, erased memories, supernatural power, and a legacy determined to destroy them both.

As the years pass, Finn and Mia are drawn ever deeper into an arcane bond that defies reason and threatens their lives. Haunted by secrets buried in the past, they must confront a terrifying question:

How do you move forward when the past and those you love refuse to let you go? The consequences of their arcane bond, however forged, tear their lives apart without a shred of reason. The fallout impacts them for years to come.

Spanning the first thirty years of Finn Milton’s life, Echoes of the Arcane reveals the origin story of one of The Granite Shore’s most enigmatic figures; 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 between 1976 and 1986, Echoes of the Arcane, Book One of The Granite Shore, is a dark coming-of-age, slow-burning fantasy saga woven with paranormal mystery, emotional suspense, forbidden romance, and ancient magic, laying the foundations for the events which take place in Book Two, Curse of the Arcane and Book Three, Moth of the Arcane.

Echoes of the Arcane is perfect for readers who love literary dark fantasy with a gothic heart, mystery, emotional depth, and unforgettable characters. An out-of-this-world journey of love, loss, memory, and power, with a sting in its tail from Cornish writer Vivian Mayne. Disclaimer.

If Echoes of the Arcane is the starter, then Curse of the Arcane is the main course! Discover what happens when Finn and Mia face their 30th birthday. Will fate give them another chance at love?

It’s August 1996. Finn and Mia are living very different lives. Finn has always been different, but his extraordinary gifts come at a terrible price: every ten years, the person he loves most, Mia, is compelled to forget he ever existed. Haunted by a curse set in motion generations ago, Finn exists in a shadowy world of fractured memories, telekinetic powers, and secrets that threaten to shatter his sanity. Mia, an artist striving to reclaim the missing pieces of her past, is drawn to the strange, beautiful boy her heart refuses to let go of, even though her mind cannot remember him.

Bronagh, heir to a legacy of dark magic and regret, stumbles upon a family secret that could unravel the couple’s destiny. Guided by a spectral messenger, Bronagh risks everything to help Finn break the vicious cycle, even if it means revealing her own family’s crimes. 

Book Two of the Granite Shore is set in London, Sussex and Cornwall. For fans of The Raven Cycle and This Savage Song, this captivating saga of memory, romance, and destiny examines what it means to resist the darkness, within themselves and in the world around them.

Spanning the thirtieth year of Finn Milton’s life, Curse of the Arcane reveals the ongoing story of one of The Granite Shore’s most enigmatic figures, charting his journey as he discovers Mia again, uncovers the truth about an ancient curse, and awakens powers beyond his control.

Set against the atmospheric backdrop of coastal Cornwall in 1996, Curse of the Arcane, Book Two of The Granite Shore, is a slow-burning fantasy woven with paranormal mystery, emotional suspense, forbidden romance, and ancient magic, laying the groundwork for the consequential events that take place in Book Three, Moth of the Arcane.
