'To a quiet life has come something truly extraordinary. Jared's seen the Lights since he was a child. Every night for a few minutes at ten pm a strange beacon would shine high up in the darkened factory opposite his tiny house. He ventured there one fateful night, and there he found the spectral creatures. Since then they've taken him to fantastical places, far away from the grey monotony of his life and the darkness of his past. All he's ever cared about is keeping the secret intact and leading a quiet life of anonymity. But it's a lonely, introspective existence that's always eaten away at him. When change comes to the factory, he finally finds another that he comes to trust and then share his secrets. But in the shadow of Amelia's arrival is one that already knows everything, and has intentions that are both dark and vicious. An ancient ritual is then taken to another time.'

They’re all she cares about. All she needs. And they’re all in danger if they take this chance to escape. The Roman’s endless planning and waiting has come to this moment. Under the abandoned fortress is a gateway out of the island’s purgatory. Where it leads, they have no idea.

'To have to be hidden and protected so profoundly, it must be vital. It is.
What they find astounds them, and what’s been happening there for countless millennia – appalling. All of it, everything, just to sustain and entertain a twisted few. Her group will do all they can to stop it.

'It will cost them.'  (Publication summary)
