What is it about?
VISITATIONS FROM THE PAST
When a beautiful, mysterious orphan from Cornwall falls in love, the relationship immediately sparks off frightening visions for her, which are apparently connected with a previous life she knows nothing about.
A FAMILY IN TORMENT
The couple marry and are bewildered when their first child soon develops extraordinary powers over birds, animals and other children. She draws a sign on her blackboard which for some unknown reason terrifies her mother and the ultimate effect traumatises the whole family.
She goes on to cause such mayhem in the leafy suburb of their quiet market town,
that in the end they are forced to move. Will this help to ease the torment?
AN ANCIENT PROPHECY REVEALS ITSELF
Ancestral research reveals an identical sign on an old Cornish gravestone.
Does this power originate from Cornwall?
A university professor attempts to unravel the mystery but not even he realises the dramatic consequences that are about to ensue as a legend from the past bursts into the present and takes over their lives.
IT SEEKS ATONEMENT - BUT FOR WHAT AND WHY?
The family are left distraught as the reader is transported back into the distant past to discover the origin of this controlling power, generated by an ancient civilization, whose rituals were specifically intended to provide a defence against the coming of an enemy foretold by their prophets.
Their struggles
to prevent the nation from being torn apart are portrayed against a background
of cataclysmic events that leave an immortal legacy, destined to be played out
in the future.
