For the first nine years of her life, she was held in modern day slavery. She saw violence, she knew cold and hunger, she experienced the death of those close to her. It was no life for a child. And now she is free.
On a stormy winter's night on a remote island in the wild North Atlantic, something draws Marie down to the beach, where she finds a small girl, barely alive. Who is she? How did she come to be there?
Marie and her family are safe inside their little home, but outside on the wild moor stands Jarvis, watching their bothy. He is bare foot and unkempt. What does he want of the people he is watching? Why is he there? Why is it that he seems so often to be close to places where there is trouble? Is Marie right to fear this strange man?
