    A 16th century scheme purportedly to help persecuted religious minorities to escape to a new life in the New World is , six centuries later, revealed to have been a deadly scam to maroon the passengers on an Arctic coast in order to provide forced labour for a factory, where feathers from a rare seabird (the snaegeir - a relative of the great auk) are harvested to supply a lucrative trade in Europe - a wholesale slaughter which, within a few years, brought the birds to the edge of extinction. In the present day, Robertson Crutcher, a descendant of Johannes Cruytser, the merchant venturer who initiated the trade and built the factory, sets about atoning for t-he bloody stain upon his ancestry by placating the ghosts of the exploited would-be pilgrims and rescuing what may be the last surviving pair of snaegeir birds from Alba Maior, after a reported sighting by a whaling crew. The title, you may have recognised, comes from Coleridge's the Rime of the Ancient Mariner, which is a major reference point. "Like one who, on a lonely road, Doth walk in fear and dread, And, having once turned round, walks on, And turns no more his head; Because he knows a frightful fiend Doth close behind him tread. In addition, The story draws heavily upon the facts of Martin Frobisher's life as a privateer and explorer, and his largely fruitless voyages to the coast of Labrador in 1576-78, including his association with the merchant venturer Michael Lok and the 'astrologer royal' Doctor John Dee.

    When I found my one true love, I did not expect everything to go quite this badly. ========================================= Running. Running with her. From them. I hear the howl of a wolf and we speed up, only to stop when we come across a deep ravine. No way to cross. A snaking river at the bottom. I turn to my newlywed wife and kiss her. She grabs my bandaged hand and steps up to the edge. I follow her. I trust her with my life. The wolves are getting closer. "I love you," I say. "I love you too, Cath," she responds. We jump. ========================================= Catherine Grenville is a young elizabethan girl unlike the others. She likes girls. Raised by her father after her mother dies giving birth to her, Catherine is left with a single, closed-off parent. On the day of her seventeenth birthday, her best friend, a young man, proposes to her. But she doesn't want to tie herself down to someone she will never love. So she runs off into the depths of her house. And what she finds there will change her worlds. Forever.
