A boy with ESP
powers and a magic
narwhal tusk set a
remote Scillonian
island aflame. A
mystery thriller
with a difference.
When Gray retrieves
an engraved
narwhal’s tusk from
the sea disturbing
changes begin to
happen to both
marine and bird
life. The islanders
suspect Gray’s
unusual powers of
being able to
communicate with
seals and other
creatures as the
cause of the unrest.
They find the tusk
he has hidden away
and fear that an
ancient prophecy
threatening the
island will come to
pass since they have
always considered
the narwhal as an
omen of disaster.
Gray finds himself a
victim of a confused
and complex web of
superstition as the
islanders decide a
ritual sacrifice
must be made. How
can he prove his
innocence and escape
their final
condemnation of him?
Narwhal was
shortlisted for the
Cinnamon Press
Awards.
