A quiet afternoon on a mist‑filled loch sets the stage for a tender, uneasy escape. Oona and Walter, a young pair drawn together by an unspoken tension, glide across the dark water, each sensing a strange relief as the storm recedes. Their conversation drifts from light banter to deeper, almost mystical musings about the depths below, hinting at forces that lie hidden beneath the surface.
The island they approach is a modest sanctuary, its simple cottages and watchful inhabitants offering a glimpse of ordinary life that contrasts with the subtle undercurrent of magic surrounding Walter’s lineage. As Oona steps ashore, the gentle intrigue of her surroundings mingles with the lingering sense that something larger—perhaps the legacy of a wizard—still awaits discovery. The story unfolds with a blend of romance, quiet suspense, and the promise of hidden powers yet to be fully revealed.

1828–1897
A hugely productive Victorian storyteller, she wrote vivid novels of family life, small-town society, and the supernatural while supporting her family through her pen. Her work ranges from the much-loved Chronicles of Carlingford to ghost stories that still feel sharp and modern.
