There, amid the wild horses, oak woods and rumours of jewels hidden beneath the water, Elle harbours a secret. Her so-called 'cousin' Gabriel, who comes to stay, is really a boyfriend from back home and the love of her life.In subsequent years, when Elle and Simon raise a family and face a less than idyllic relationship, Elle can never forget her brief dalliance with Gabriel.

With her mind a maze of questions about long-buried stories, the bewitching island of Lyra might eventually bring answers to light.'A prophetic fever dream sprung from a singular imagination.
