'I was just talking to dad.'

This is the last thing Owen expects to hear on a quiet Spring afternoon. He and his brothers and sisters presumed long ago that their father was dead. Why else would there be no contact from him in over a year?

But Mr Tremayne is no ghost. He wants back as if he never left, and Owen discovers that there are far worse words to hear. Words that shake his hard-won confidence and resilience, jeopardise his partnership with Andrew, and disrupt his siblings' settled lives.

With everything he won in Mackerel Sky at risk of being taken away, Owen must dig deep to overcome self-doubt, despair, and fresh secrets. Andrew's love gives him strength, but will it be enough to get him through these tough times?

Threatening Sky is a battle for keeps: peace, security, life, love.
