What you need to know before your trail
Eris, an island with only one house, one inhabitant, one way out. Unreachable from the Scottish mainland for twelve hours each day.
Once home to Vanessa. A famous artist whose notoriously unfaithful husband disappeared twenty years ago.
Now home to Grace. A solitary creature of the tides, content in her own isolation.
But when a shocking discovery is made in an art gallery far away in London, a visitor comes calling.
And the secrets of Eris threaten to emerge . . .
Travel Guide
Eris Island
A fictional island off the west coast of Scotland with views out towards the Irish sea.
“All the years on Eris Island – more than twenty of them now- have made Grace tidal. A lunatic. An actual lunatic! Governed by the moon. She no longer sleeps when the tide is out, she only rests when the sea separates her from the land.”
“Eris island is in fact not an island. Like Grace, Eris is tidal. An almost island, fused to the mainland by a slender spot of land roughly a mile in length. for twelve hours on the day, in two six hour chunks, its causeway is passable on foot or by vehicle, When the tide comes in, Eris is unreachable.”
