Description
From the critically acclaimed, bestselling author of Weyward.
'Evocative and compelling … As hopeful as it is heart-wrenching' LUCY CLARKE 'Wistful, haunting, drenched in seaweed and a frothy tide' CJ COOKE 'Enthralling … It made me cry on a railway platform’ BRIDGET COLLINS
Sisters separated by hundreds of years. Voices that can't be drowned out. Lucy is running from what she’s done, attacking that boy in her sleep.
Pursued by nightmares, she makes for her big sister's house. But when she arrives, Jess is nowhere to be found. The clifftop town is strange and full of rumours.
A dozen men disappeared, without a trace. Women’s voices murmuring on the waves. A foundling discovered in a sea-swept cave.
As Lucy searches for Jess, her dreams draw ever closer. She can see a great ship in 1800, and two sisters bound together in its hull. She sees a world where men always seem to get their way.
And something in her body wants to fight back. A wave is building. The past is a lure.
Could the answer to who she is – and what’s happening to her – lie in this quiet, sea-soaked town? Could it lie two hundred years deep in the past?
