"At harvest tide no place to hide as Eastling passes through."
The spectre of revenge stalks Saddling, and the Eastling is hungry for a victim. At some time on autumn equinox night, someone in the village will die.
Tom Carey fights to hold a divided village together while racing to unlock the riddle of a boy long dead. But pages of the Lore are mysteriously missing, and all he has to work with are a looker’s spoketale and a blind woman's poem. As solstice approaches and the vengeful grey-hang thickens, Tom realises who the victim could be. Him.
The Eastling is the third in the Saddling series, following The Saddling and The Witchling.
“Believable characters, gripping atmosphere and tension, all skilfully woven into an absorbing mystery set in the eerie landscape of Romney Marsh.” (Emma Batten, author of Romney Marsh historical fiction)
Praise for the Saddling series.
"Gripping from the start." "A real page turner right to the end." "Just keeps on twisting." "A compelling tale from the first page."
