Esmeralda's Endless Summer is a coming of age mystery set in Oxford, rich in dark academia and quintessential Britishness.
At 4am on May Day in Oxford a cloaked figure on a bicycle sweeps underneath the Bridge of Sighs. Professor Drake takes this route at this exact time on this exact date every year and calls it the witching hour due to the unpredictability of its nature. He watches the choir sing on top of Magdalen Tower then throws a white rose into the river. When he returns to his college a distinctive envelope addressed to "Esmeralda" is waiting for him.
This will be the first in a mysterious series of cards and gifts which lead his daughter Esme on a magical hunt through secret tunnels, cemeteries and a mediaeval well in the city. With increasing self doubt, a duplicitous love interest, a missing mother and rumours about her father, what she learns along the way also aids her journey into adulthood.
As fantasy and reality gradually blur will Esmeralda finally uncover the truth? Or could magic really be... real?
