Legend of Moulin Huet

In this richly imagined tale we are whisked to 17th‑century Guernsey, where the sea‑kissed village of Moulin Huêt hides a crimson‑stained mill and a lingering whisper of mischievous fairies. The stern miller Pierre Moullin presides over a household that doubles as his grinding wheel, and his loyalty to Cromwell’s cause sets the stage for uneasy alliances with both Parliamentarian and Royalist neighbours. As the story unfolds, his daughter Marguerite finds herself drawn to a young Royalist soldier, igniting a fierce conflict between familial duty, political fervor, and the lingering superstitions of the island.

Against this backdrop of turbulent politics and folklore, readers hear the simmering tensions among Pierre’s children, the steadfast son Hirzel and the ever‑watchful Jacques Gaultier, each with their own motives. The narrative balances gritty historical detail with the tantalising mystery of the “fairy blood” that stains the mill’s water, inviting listeners to wonder whether the legends are merely myth or a warning of darker forces at play.
