The Ecliptic

Set on a mysterious Turkish island, "The Ecliptic" follows the exclusive artists' colony of Portmantle, where residents live under assumed names, free from the pressures of time and ego. Elspeth Conroy, a Scottish painter known as "Knell," has spent a decade there but experiences upheaval with the arrival of 17-year-old Fullerton, whose background remains a mystery. As she unveils her past and the intricacies of her artistic journey, the narrative explores the profound connections between creativity, identity, and the shadows of one's history. Benjamin Wood's richly woven tale promises an electrifying blend of introspection and suspense.
