Synopsis
When Ariel Manto uncovers a copy of 'The End of Mr Y' in a second-hand bookshop, she can't believe her eyes. She's read about its author before, the outlandish Victorian scientist Thomas Lumas, and this is his most notorious, and rarest, book.
It is also believed to hold a curse. Anyone who's ever read it, including Lumas, has disappeared without trace. With 'Mr Y' under her arm, Ariel is thrust into an adventure of faith, physics, love, death, and everything in between...
