...death, when life for Thom Kindred was fading fast and his inner eyes, the eyes that focused from his
soul, were already dazzled by the shining way ahead (was the brilliance approaching him, or was he
approaching it? he wondered in a curiously detached way), when his scant twenty-seven
years apparently were drawing to a close, something occurred that halted the untimely rush. Something,
in fact, that not only saved him from death but altered the course of his future life.
The stroke was fierce enough to kill him, but when the pain was at its zenith, the blood disruption at its
most threatening, the trauma began to subside, to draw back as if chastised by a new light that presented
itself, this one golden and fierce; even though small it was certainly strong enough to influence the fine
balance between life and death, the line between dissension and submission.
Just before crashing the car he happened to be driving at the time, he was suddenly a boy again reliving
a child-
hood event, an occasion that was too vague to recollect properly and too fleeting to comprehend fully.
He felt a great happiness though, and that too was momentary, unlike the headache that had plagued him
for two days.
A distant impact - a grinding of metal, the shattering of glass - interrupted this unaccountable reverie,
then there was silence. And stillness.
Save for that second light, the golden one, which swiftly dwindled to infinity like the goodnight spot on
an old television screen.
Soon all that was left was a void, very black, very deep, but not the least bit threatening ...
PART ONE
In which a young man
returns to his childhood home
and learns of things he
never thought possible.
MEET THOM KINDRED
HE'D HAD no idea how he would feel returning to Castle Bracken after all these years. How long had
it been? Sixteen, seventeen years? Yes, seventeen - he'd been ten years old when they had sent him
away to boarding school. One month after his mother's death.
Thom used the 'spinner' attached to the Jeep's steering wheel, a device that enabled him to turn the
wheel using his right hand only, his left arm still weakened from the stroke - the 'cerebrovascular
accident', as the clinically cold medical profession liked to name it. Because the four-wheel drive had an
automatic gear shift, he was able to keep his left foot on the metal rest, which came as standard with the
model, his stronger right leg doing its job of accelerating and braking. The Jeep swept into a narrow,
hedge-lined lane and picked up speed again.
How much had changed in his absence? he wondered. Not much, not much at all, he was willing to
bet. Certainly not as far as the manor house itself was concerned. Built
