Paperback. The IncomerA Caribbean OdysseyWhere the Horizon Ends, Adventure BeginsSet against the sun-drenched backdrop of the Caribbean, The Incomer is a sweeping tale of adventure, transformation, and the mysterious boundaries between worlds. Charlie Barley, a down-on-his-luck ex-navy man, finds himself marooned-emotionally and literally-on the sleepy island of Petit St Louis. Nursing wounds from a failed marriage and a dishonourable discharge, Charlie drifts through life, scraping by with odd jobs and rum-soaked evenings, until a chance encounter with a young journalist, Arianne Hansa, sets him on a path he could never have imagined. What begins as a playful interview about local legends soon spirals into a journey that blurs the line between myth and reality. Charlie is drawn into the orbit of Captain Josiah Patch, a gruff but enigmatic sea gypsy whose tales of the Splitwind-a mysterious, shifting phenomenon at sea-have become the stuff of island folklore. Together, they embark on a series of voyages aboard the old ketch Elnora, navigating not only the treacherous waters of the Caribbean but also the uncharted territories of friendship, loss, and redemption. But the Caribbean holds secrets far deeper than its turquoise waters. When Charlie and Captain Joe encounter the Splitwind, they are thrust into a parallel world-Mondeguinee-where the laws of nature are rewritten, and ancient spirits hold sway. Here, Charlie must confront not only the dangers of this new realm but also the ghosts of his own past. He meets Zethina, a formidable and enigmatic woman whose fate is entwined with the survival of her people, and together they face monstrous creatures, political intrigue, and the ever-present threat of the vengeful Juracan. Rothery's novel is more than a fantasy adventure; it is a meditation on belonging, identity, and the choices that define us. Charlie's odyssey is as much internal as external, as he grapples with the possibility of love, the pain of letting go, and the hope of finding a place to call home. The narrative weaves together Caribbean folklore, nautical authenticity, and speculative fiction, creating a world that is both vividly real and hauntingly otherworldly.With richly drawn characters, evocative settings, and a plot that balances humour, heartbreak, and high-stakes adventure, The Incomer invites readers to lose themselves in a story where every horizon promises both danger and discovery. Whether you are a lover of sea tales, magical realism, or stories of personal transformation, this novel offers a voyage you won't soon forget. This item is printed on demand.

A Caribbean Odyssey
Where the Horizon Ends, Adventure Begins
Set against the sun-drenched backdrop of the Caribbean, The Incomer is a sweeping tale of adventure, transformation, and the mysterious boundaries between worlds. Charlie Barley, a down-on-his-luck ex-navy man, finds himself marooned—emotionally and literally—on the sleepy island of Petit St Louis. Nursing wounds from a failed marriage and a dishonourable discharge, Charlie drifts through life, scraping by with odd jobs and rum-soaked evenings, until a chance encounter with a young journalist, Arianne Hansa, sets him on a path he could never have imagined.
What begins as a playful interview about local legends soon spirals into a journey that blurs the line between myth and reality. Charlie is drawn into the orbit of Captain Josiah Patch, a gruff but enigmatic sea gypsy whose tales of the Splitwind—a mysterious, shifting phenomenon at sea—have become the stuff of island folklore. Together, they embark on a series of voyages aboard the old ketch Elnora, navigating not only the treacherous waters of the Caribbean but also the uncharted territories of friendship, loss, and redemption.
But the Caribbean holds secrets far deeper than its turquoise waters. When Charlie and Captain Joe encounter the Splitwind, they are thrust into a parallel world—Mondeguinee—where the laws of nature are rewritten, and ancient spirits hold sway. Here, Charlie must confront not only the dangers of this new realm but also the ghosts of his own past.
