The Interloper EBook

In The Interloper, Violet Jacob unravels a haunting tale of rivalry, unrequited love, and obsession set against the brooding backdrop of rural Scotland. When Whanland, the Flemming family’s ancestral estate, is unexpectedly inherited by a stranger, Gilbert Speid, young William “Will” Flemming is consumed by a relentless urge to reclaim what he believes is rightfully his. Driven by resentment, Will becomes entangled in a dangerous web of envy and desire, watching helplessly as Gilbert wins the admiration of the village—and the affections of Kirsty Strang, the woman Will has always loved.

As Will’s obsession with Gilbert grows, his sense of reality blurs, leading him down a path where the lines between ambition and madness, pride and desperation, are dangerously thin. Rich with Jacob's lyrical prose and sharp psychological insight, The Interloper explores the darkness within and the haunting power of unfulfilled desires.

Step into the world of The Interloper, where jealousy and fate collide, and witness a story that lingers like a shadow, capturing the mysteries of the human heart and the untamed wilds of Scotland.
