✦ Synopsis


He was just seventeen when he came to Portmantle, a runaway like the rest of us...
At Portmantle, a gated refuge for artists on the Turkish island of Heybeliada, the residents are given new names. In the seclusion of the grounds, a curious assembly of once-famous painters, writers, architects, and musicians strive to restore their faded talents.
Elspeth 'Knell' Conroy is a celebrated mural painter who has lost faith in her art. She has found three kindred spirits at the refuge: MacKinney, a playwright wrangling with the dramas of her past; Pettifer, a jaded architect refining sketches for a vast cathedral; and Quickman, a novelist hiding in the shadow of his only masterpiece.
But when a downbeat teenager named Fullerton is admitted, he disrupts their established routines. The boy is plagued by a recurring nightmare that steers him into danger, and Knell is left to pick apart the mystery. What is 'The Ecliptic' and how does it connect to their abandoned lives in London?
