IRiS
 BOOK BLURB

What  if  the  pain  you've  been  avoiding  was  your  greatest  gift?


Iris Moon is 27 and shattered. Her boyfriend's violence has just cost her the life she'd been building, and now she's returning to the house in Kent where she's always felt like a stranger, with the quiet conviction that she is fundamentally unloveable and will never belong anywhere.

 

In her parents' garage, a familiar voice compels her to pick up a paintbrush for the first time in years and something stirs: words surface like secrets rising through water, symbols are sketched without intent, and people who encounter her paintings start to remember things they had long forgotten...

Drawn back to London, Iris connects with two men: Nico, a musician whose sounds evoke vivid visions, and Michel, a sophisticated client who sees past her performance to the artist underneath.

When their experimental exhibition triggers mass awakenings across London, the trio must choose whether to retreat into safety and obscurity,  or step fully into a gift—and a love—they barely understand.

 

They step forward together, facing forces that profit from numbness and disconnection, and discover a bond that is older than this lifetime.

A luminous novel about grief, desire, and the transformative power of creativity.
 

 

"Ambitious, intricate, and emotionally charged." 
 

“The way it explores art, frequency, and connection is both profound and deeply moving.”
 

"The story is so good..." 
 

"OMG !!! Just read the first chapter!!! I could cry!!..."
