|summary=The eagerly awaited sequel to [[Ferney by James Long|Fearney]] is here, providing a good excuse for an evening in. The focus of this novel is different, but the romance, desolation and historical snippets remain just as good as the first, with, this time, the added bonus of police procedural thrills.

Jo has always been an odd child, talking to her imaginary friend Gally from almost as soon as she could talk. Her widowed mother drags her from doctor to therapist until medication becomes the only answer. It provides peace for Jo's mother but pushes the teenage Jo into a shady half-existence. Meanwhile somewhere else, Luke is also a teenager leading a half-life as he co-exists with his mother and her disdainful, temperamental partner. Luke feels more at home in the great outdoors than under a roof and gradually comes to realise why. They may have lived this long unaware of each other, but Luke's and Jo's worlds collide one summer at an archaeological dig and what they discover is beyond their wildest imaginings.
