Synopsis/Details

Can the past be truly forgotten? Captain Lucus Samways, of the Cetys, sails home to Cardiff in 1879 under peculiar circumstances.
Strange events have occurred that defy rational explanation on board ship. As Samways begins to recall events, supernatural happenings increase.
He tells Robby Creager, the First Mate, of the happenings that occurred in Thruxton Village during his youth and why he believes he will die on this day in vengeance for his desecration of an ancient sanctuary in which one of the old gods of Albion was venerated.
