Snapdragon Solstice
Book One in The Distillation Trilogy
By JOHN CARDER BUSH & JEREMY CARTLAND
Snapdragon Solstice is the first in a trilogy of books telling the epic tale of the Demonâmes, an enigmatic Breton family whose wealth and position afford them enviable power and influence, even in war torn Europe, where the intrigue that must eventually unravel, first begins. The story is told by Englishman Nicholas Wade, a poet, who first encounters the family when he meets handsome, charismatic Marc-Ange Demonâme as a young teenager at boarding school. As his friendship with the magnetic frenchman develops, he is drawn into the family and finds himself falling into their web of complex relationships, driven by irresistible love and desire. As the story unfolds and he discovers how his own life has been fatefully intertwined with the Demonâmes since childhood, he also uncovers a more sinister truth beneath the veneer of rich glamour and beauty.
Bold and challenging, it’s a deeply moving tale of love, forbidden passion, hidden treasure, Nazi intrigue and murder. Snapdragon Solstice will draw you into its unexpected mystery and set the scene for the twists and turns that await in the full story that ultimately traces five generations of the family in the Trilogy’s two further novels, One Handfull of Her Berries and The Lavender Violin.
