And the Sea Darkened

And the Sea Darkened is a debut thriller from new author Vicki Lloyd, who has an MA in Creative Writing from Oxford Brookes University.

The novel begins with a sound, or an absence of sound, that awakens farmer Magnus Bostock. He quickly dons his clothing, takes his shotgun and leaves the family farmhouse to discover what had disturbed his slumbers.

He finds something that no farmer would like to discover. But that's only the beginning of the problems for Magnus, his brother Nick and the rest of the islanders.

A young academic called Jasmine arrives on the island, she believes that if she can discover an ancient journal, that is hidden somewhere on the island, she will be able to uncover the cause of the killings. But can she? Is she putting herself in mortal danger?

Is there really a link with the past that has brought a curse down upon the family of the Bostocks?

Can Magnus and Nick, who are usually feuding with each other, discover the truth before it is far too late?

This is a thrilling read, created by someone who truly knows their craft.

It's published by The Book Guild at £8.99.
