'I have waited a thousand years for this moment. I have loved you and waited for you every second of every day.'Fragments of Silk is a tale a thousand years in the making. It is a story of good and evil, forgiveness and redemption as two worlds unite. Ria, the enigmatic fairy queen of Skye legend, has waited a thousand years for the last of her line to come and, through love, release her from the half-life to which others had condemned her. Alfur, a gentle but traumatised and lonely man, roams the highways and byways of Britain, wrestling with his demons. But he needs new walking boots. A search that takes him to a gentleman’s outfitter in the backstreets of Brume, his Somerset hometown.The boots are an entangled pair, bearing fragments of the fairy queen’s silk shawl in their making. There he meets Fogarty, a grumpy and condescending shopkeeper, who offers him the boots, which have sat in his storeroom for three generations. Boots, unsold, and which never fitted the many men who tried to put them on. They fit perfectly and, inexorably, they carry Alfur to his destiny in the hills and valleys of Skye. There he meets Ria, and out of their fiery romance, humanity is reborn, and a new world begins.
