Summary
The year is 1856.
Cornwall promises a wealth of riches to the hungry and the curious; bright copper, tin, arsenic, artist inspiration, and rough granite. For John Bridgens it promises little, landing at the mercy of the Peglars, a father and son who are settled uneasily on the edge of town.
But it is only the owners who grow rich off the sweat of the miners' brows. With the bedrock of the community weakened after a fateful mine collapse, the Peglars and their friend increasingly relying on their illegal sideline as stormy winter brings both hunger and shipwrecks in, and the long arm of the law finally stretches down to their remote corner of the county, threatening to separate John and Harry just as they have found each other.

Summary
What Tozer was proposing was no different from an experiment, an effort to further one’s knowledge and understanding, and so there could be no sin in it.
The fate of the expedition turns on the connection between John Irving and Solomon Tozer. A soft, sprawling canon-divergent love story.
(Written for The Terror Big Bang 2025, with art by theocoeur.)

Summary
“If it’s about the Soul and God, or the Church and God,” begins Solomon, “why do none of the words say so?”
“As I said,” John explains with care, “it is a metaphor.”
*
Sergeant Tozer's observation of Lieutenant Irving is mistaken for an interest in redemption.
OR
The Song of Songs, which is Solomon's.
