In Fair Spirits

In the distant past, when England was split into various warring factions, Edmund lived a quiet life with his father and his younger sister, Leofe. Edmund wanted nothing more than to protect his sister, and was determined to always be by her side… But Leofe’s ambitions to become a knight drove a wedge between them, and their relationship crumbled. Now, almost one thousand years in the future, Edmund has been reincarnated in the small English village of Fenchapel. He is still grappling with his complex feelings about his younger sister, who perished many, many centuries ago… And he has even more to contend with when he meets a smiley young man called Abel with a mischievous streak. Talking to Abel initially helps Edmund put his past behind him, but what is he to do when Abel’s smiling façade begins to slip? There is much more to Abel than one might initially suspect – and, over time, Edmund begins to see in his new companion a kindred soul, born centuries apart from himself, who might be able to understand him.
