Despre această carte electronică
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?
- Supernatural Mystery: Josie must untangle the village’s secrets, but some of its inhabitants aren’t just mysterious—they aren’t entirely of this world.
- Historical Gothic Setting: Explore the windswept Scottish coast of the 1800s, where crashing waves hide sinister plots and every shadow holds a threat.
- A Conspiracy of Wreckers: Uncover the town’s horrifying source of wealth, a deadly secret of greed, false lights, and plundered shipwrecks.
- 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.
