Trespassers

Trespassers: Book Two (A Ferryman Novel)

Trespassers continues the epic love story of Dylan and Tristan, in the stunning sequel to the truly original, award-winning debut novel Ferryman.

Tristan and Dylan have escaped the afterlife defying the laws of the supernatural world. Now they must face the consequences. Can true love transcend destiny?

Tristan and Dylan have escaped the afterlife. But fate never meant for them to live. Dylan should have been killed in a horrific train crash. Tristan should still be a Ferryman, an immortal.

Now, living in bodies they have no right to inhabit, they discover they’re connected by something stronger than love. Their souls are bound together. Alone, they’ll die.

When they broke through the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead they defied the laws of the supernatural world, and showed the way for others to escape. Now they must face the consequences. Can true love transcend destiny?

This is a love story like no other, beautifully told, richly imagined, and with a narrative as full of suspense and action as it is with intense emotion.

The beginning . . .

Dylan floated in a warm haze. Eyes closed, she lay flat on her back, thick cushioning underneath her and soft covers tucked up almost to her chin. She was comfortable, she was cosy and she wanted to stay that way.

Unfortunately, there were several voices nearby intruding on her peace and one of them, at least, wasn’t going to be ignored for long.

“Who, exactly, are you, young man?” Joan ’s words were frosted with ice. Dylan knew that tone, knew it intimately. She ’d been on the receiving end of it more times than she could count. What she ’d never noticed before, though, was the undertone of anxiety and fear that sharpened its edge.

“I’m with Dylan.”

At the second voice, Dylan ’s eyes snapped open. She couldn’t help it. She ’d crossed the wasteland for that rich timbre, faced beings more deadly and terrifying than anything she could have imagined in the world of the living. There was nothing she wouldn’t do . . .

Although there was one thing she couldn’t do. With her neck trapped by an unyielding plastic collar, she wasn’t able to twist and see Tristan, check with her own eyes that he was really there. She tried, though, letting the hard material dig into her collarbone and rolling her eyes so far upwards that her temples throbbed. But he remained frustratingly just out of sight.
