In 1967, when Roland Haynes arrives in the Channel Island of Alderney to write his first novel, little does he know that there's a story waiting for him. A ghostly encounter sets him on a search for Aurelie, a beautiful island girl who went missing during the Nazi Occupation. Together with Louis Ferrier, Aurelie's boyfriend from the past, Roland unravels the story of a courageous young woman who paid the price of defying the Nazis. Set on the wild, sea-swept island of Alderney, this novel combines fact and fiction to create a tragic love story and a chilling warning of how human power, used for evil ends, can destroy not only nature's beauty but that of the love between two innocent young people.
