Acerca deste libro electrónico
In early-nineteenth century Scotland, sixteen-year-old Josie, an orphan, is sent to live with an aunt and uncle on the rocky, stormy northwest coast. Everything and everyone in her new surroundings, including her relatives, is sinister, threatening, and mysterious. She's told that Eli, the young man she's attracted to, is forbidden to her, but not why. Spirited, curious, and determined, Josie sets out to learn the village's secrets and discovers evil, fueled by heartless greed, as well as a ghostly presence eager for revenge. An author's note gives the historical inspiration for this story.
What happens when the town’s darkest secret is also the one thing keeping her from the boy she can’t have?

- An Unsettling Ghost Story: The ghostly presence haunting Brindle Point isn’t just a legend. It’s real, it’s angry, and it wants revenge.
