Fallen Feathers cover

Elizabeth Fairchild loved the moon. For as long as anyone could remember, she knew instinctively when it had risen and where it was in the sky. But when the south of England experiences a rare super blood moon, Elizabeth goes missing and the race is on to find her before the eclipse is over and she is lost forever.

A priest tells Elizabeth’s father about another local girl who went missing years before and was never found. They discover a number of other similarities, including a strong physical resemblance between the two girls. As they start to piece together what happened, they find they are not the only ones searching for Elizabeth.

A stranger visits the church and tells the priest the clues to her disappearance lie in an ancient prophecy from a book found in a house in the middle of the woods. The prophecy states that Elizabeth is special, a golden child, and generations of people have waited for her, she is their messiah. But to save them she has to die. When the past collides with modern-day life, the hunt for Elizabeth begins.

Fallen Feathers is a spellbinding, epic contemporary tale of family, love, and dangerous secrets.

"The feeling of history and time and old monks and old learning, coexisting with our own time, is so intriguing. A serious achievement." -- Stephen Fry
“Original and arresting. There is an element of late Ishiguro.” -- Geordie Greig
