The Island is abandoned. But she is not alone...

Off the windswept coast of Scotland lies Finish Island, rugged and remote. Once a home, it now stands abandoned, a place of dark history and deep memory, a place that holds its stories close. Unable to write since her daughter's death, it's here that Seren comes to work, hoping that the solitude and silence will inspire her next novel.

But the island holds memories of its own, restless and unwilling to stay buried. As unsettling occurrences become even more bizarre and frightening, Seren starts seeing uncanny resonances between her past and the island's history. There is something on this island, something ancient and unforgiving. Will Seren discover its secrets, before it's too late?

What Our Reviewers Said:

"A tightly woven plot with many details that once revealed make you realise just how, cleverly and unannounced, they had been placed in the story."

"I really connected with the characters and was invested in the journey from the start. The protagonist’s outcome was known from the beginning but I really needed to know how it got to that point."
