Heronries. Heronry Cycle, #2

The herons are gathering again. Kathy Wharton has spent fifteen years collecting fragments of something she cannot explain. Elias Thorne has spent a year away from the valley, finally understanding what he is. When he returns, they follow the lines on a hand-drawn map across three countries - north to Perthshire, west to Wales, across the water to Ireland - assembling the pieces of something that has been waiting centuries to be known.
The countdown has already begun. The convergence is coming. And the final key has been in the valley all along. Heronries is the second book in The Heronry Cycle, a quiet, mythic, psychological tale of watchers, bloodlines, and the moment the world exhales. Ben Day is a micro-brand specialising in minimalist psychological horror - stories rooted in isolation, rural claustrophobia, and the quiet dread of ordinary places.
